This paper presents the statistical analysis of
water pollution in yoghurt industry in Nigeria.
Water pollution has brought unpleasant implications
for health and economic development in Nigeria.
However, despite the public and international
agencies policy focus on water pollution problem,
the situation in Nigeria seems degenerating and
therefore demands increased attention. The
regression analysis was carried out to show the
contribution of some pollutants like in
the total population recorded in yoghurt industry in
South West, Nigeria. The pollutant (Biochemical
Oxygen Demand) i.e. Variable
 from
the analysis plays a major hazard effect on the
total pollution recorded by the industry which can
cause hazard to populace when consumed. Coefficient
of determination calculated i.e.R2
= 0.9994 shows how changes in total population is
completely explained by changes in the auxiliary
variable i.e. pollutants. Multicollunieraity also
exists in the explanatory variable which shows a
higher variances and covariance of the estimate of
the parameters
