If the data I collected supported my hypothesis there would have been a linear correlation between the amount of money the city provides as grants to different organization and the distance from their focus area and the specific location in Waterfront and Yaletown. As graph one through four on the previous page displays there is neither an exponential or linear correlation between my data. The graph which supports my hypothesis the most is graph 4. Graph 4 is an exponential correlation between the distance from Yaletown and the amount of money the city of Vancouver would provide for grants to organizations in 2016. Despite my initial hypothesis predicting the correlation to be linear, as I did more research and read about the grants a clear outlier could be determined. The amount of grants the Downtown Eastside receives is significantly greater than the other …show more content…
In all of the graph that point is the Downtown Eastside. The specific corners I chose for each area were in the middle of the actual area, except for the Downtown Eastside which could have also affected my data. For example, for the location for Commercial, I chose Commercial Drive and Venables Street, which is the location in the middle of the Commercial Drive Area. The area is big compared to Downtown Eastside. Also in many of SWEEPs’ reports the four specific blocks are mentioned many times, which is why I chosen Main and Hastings St. and my reference point for the Downtown Eastside. Although the center of the Eastside is not Main and Hastings and I chose that location as a reference point because it was the focus areas of SWEEP. The other organizations did not provide specific areas which is why I had to choose a general area which was in the center. This could have affected by data because the location from the center of Downtown Eastside is greater that the distance between Yaletown and Waterfront with Hastings and
