According to the first model, infant mortality is a significant predictor (p < 0.001) on life expectancy for African nations. In contrast, population is not a significant predictor (p = 0.616) for life expectancy in the second model.
Hi! This section added by Katie Wells.
Continued analysis of the dataset
## Comparing fertility and infant mortality for the 2000 datasetggplot(data_2000, aes(x = infant_mortality, y = fertility)) +geom_point() +labs(x ="Infant Mortality", y ="Fertility", title ="Infant Mortality vs Fertility for African Nations in 2000")
## Comparing population size and fertility for the 2000 datasetggplot(data_2000, aes(x = population, y = fertility)) +geom_point() +scale_x_log10() +labs(x ="Population (Log10)", y ="Fertility", title ="Population (Log10) vs Fertility for African Nations in 2000")
There appears to be a positive correlation between infant mortality and fertility but no strong correlation between fertility and population size.

The fit of first model shows that infant mortality is a significant predictor (p < 0.001) on fertility for African nations. In contrast, population is not a significant predictor (p = 0.064) for fertility in the second model.
