As milk consumption increases, the incidence also increases. The x-axis of the graph says “Milk Consumption (L/person/year).” The values start at 0 and increase by 20 until it reaches 300. The y-axis is “Incidence (no/100,000/year).” The values start at 0 and increase by two until reaching 30. The line of best fit starts at 55 on the x-axis and stops at 240. The line of best fit shows that there is a positive correlation between the data. Canada and Finland are the only two points that are located exactly along the line of best fit, and the rest of the countries are located close to the line. The outlier is Japan.  Milk consumption vs. incidence, by country Country Milk Consumption (L/person/year) Incidence (no/100,000/year) Japan  40 2 France 80 4 Israel  90 6 Canada 100 8 Great Britain 110 13 Netherlands  120 10 New Zealand  130 11 Denmark  140 14 Norway 180 19 Sweden  160 23 Finland 230 28
