I just need a little assistance on the last two questions. I place per capita and death in L1 and L2 but I am lost.

Country Per Capita Cigarette Consumption
3900
United States 3350
Canada 3220
Australia 3220
New Zealand 2790
United Kingdom 2770
Ireland 2290
Finland 2160
West Germany 1890
Netherlands 1810
Austria 1770
Belgium 1700
Mexico 1680
Italy 1510
Sweden 1270
Spain 1200
Norway 1090

Deaths from Coronary Heart Disease (per 100,000)
259.9
211.6
238.1
211.6
238.1
211.8
194.1
187.3
110.5
233.1
150.3
124.7
182.1
118.1
31.9
114.3
126.9
43.9
136.3

3. What does the coefficient of determination indicate about the relationship?
Would the coefficient of 0.607 indicate there's a link between the variables?4. Use the data above to predict the number of death (per 100,000) in a country with a per capita consumption of cigarettes of 2000.

Would the ax+b equation be useful here?

Sorry, I know this one is a little long.
