1. The hypothesis is to predict cancer mortality rates in the United States counties.

Questions asked when I sent the proposal 

Can you be a little more specific about the variables? What will be your outcome/s? Is this a variable in the dataset or is it a variable that you need to calculate from other variables in the dataset?. When you talk about counties, do you mean you want to compare if the mortality rate is different between counties? Do you have several observations per county?. If you only have one per county you can’t do statistical inference using counties. I see a lot of continuous variables in the dataset, it seems to me that it would be easy to run regression models where you can have a mortality rate as the outcome and then one or more of the other variables as predictors.
