    analysis of these data. These statistics will include the mean‚ median‚ modal class and standard deviation‚ for both Life Expectancy and GDP per capita. In Section 3 we will find the regression line which best fits our data and the corresponding correlation coefficient r. It is natural to ask if there is a non-linear model‚ which better describes the statistical relation between GDP per capita and Life Expectancy. This question will be studied in Section 4‚ where we will see if a logarithmic relation
