Most people know that their chances of getting cancer increase as they age. In fact, by looking at data compiled by the National Cancer Institute you can readily see that incidence of cancer increases dramatically between the ages of 35 and 80. Medicine Students initially assumed that this relationship is linear with R = 0.80. Are the students correct? Test if the data fits better to other models.
