Given that x x\,x years is the life expectancy n n\,n years after 1960. Using a linear model, the equation linking x x\,x with n n\,n is
x=16n+70 x = \frac{1}{6}n + 70 x=61n+70In 2020 the life expectancy in the UK was 82.1 years. Comment on the suitability of your model in light of this information
