Import the Cheese and Deaths Data

I first imported the deaths and cheese data sets using read_csv.

Cheese Data Set and Variables

I then used the glimpse() command to show the variables in the Cheese data set.

Filter and Join data sets

I then filtered and joined the data sets to see only the correlations between Hispanic cheese consumption and types of deaths.

Scatter Plot Showing Correlation Between Hispanic Cheese and Fall Deaths.

I chose to plot Hispanic cheese and falls because the correlation coefficient was .96. This can lead people to think there is a strong causal relationship between eating Hispanic cheese and fall deaths.

## `geom_smooth()` using formula = 'y ~ x'
