Dr. Lillian Fok, a New Orleans psychologist, specializes in treating patients who are agoraphobic (i.e., afraid to leave their homes). The following table indicates how many patients Dr. Fok has seen each year for the past 10 years. It also indicates what the robbery rate was in New Orleans during the same year:

Year	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Number of Patients	37	34	40	41	41	54	60	54	58	62
Robbery Rate per 1,000 Population	58.0	61.4	73.4	75.2	81.1	89.0	101.1	95.4	104.1	116.2
