That is, the black percentage as a variable can explain 14% of the variance of teen birth rate (assuming a linear model). For Non-Hispanic whites the r-squared was 0.18. These are modest values, but I thought readers might be curious as to which states lay above and below the trend line. Below is the scatterplot of teen birth rate vs. % Non-Hispanic white by state.<!--more--><a href=\"http:\/\/secularright.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/whiteteenbirth.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2725\" title=\"whiteteenbirth\" src=\"http:\/\/secularright.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/whiteteenbirth.png\" alt=\"whiteteenbirth\" width=\"600\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secularright.org\/SR\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/whiteteenbirth.png 600w, https:\/\/secularright.org\/SR\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/whiteteenbirth-300x253.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below in the comments I noted that a &#8220;quick &amp; dirty&#8221; check of the data yielded an r-squared of 0.14 for the proportion of teen birth rate variance on the state level by the percentage of the state&#8217;s population that &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/secularright.org\/SR\/wordpress\/teen-birth-rate-deviations-from-the-trend\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[10,1],"tags":[1129],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/secularright.org\/SR\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2724"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/secularright.org\/SR\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/secularright.org\/SR\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/secularright.org\/SR\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/secularright.org\/SR\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2724"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/secularright.org\/SR\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2724\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2727,"href":"https:\/\/secularright.org\/SR\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2724\/revisions\/2727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/secularright.org\/SR\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/secularright.org\/SR\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/secularright.org\/SR\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
