Based on the p-values of the linear models, a conclusion can be made that there is a statistical relationship between life expectancy and infant mortality but not life expectancy and population. ###this section is added by Weifan based on the p_values of two models, we can conclude that life expectancy can be predicted by both variables (fertility and GDP)
