(c)
The students concluded that cow milk was the best milk drink to give
growing children.
i. Give evidence to support this conclusion.
ii. State reasons why you may not necessarily agree with this
conclusion.
Plot a suitable graph to see if there is a correlation between the
protein content of the different milk drinks and the average
percentage change in height. Briefly comment on what you may
conclude about a correlation.

A group of students wanted to investigate the effects of different milk drinks
on the growth of children aged six years.
Six groups of 50 children per group were each given a different milk drink.
The nutritional value of each milk drink (per 240 grams{g}) is shown in
Table 1 below.

The height (of each child) was measured in centimetres (cm) at the start of
the test and again at the end of the test. The test was carried out over one
year. The results of the test are shown in Table 2 below.
