Acrylamide is a chemical that is sometimes found in cooked starchy foods and which is thought to increase the risk of certain kinds of cancer. The paper "A Statistical Regression Model for the Estimation of Acrylamide Concentrations in French Fries for Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk Assessment"+ describes a study to investigate the effect of frying time (in seconds) and acrylamide concentration (in micrograms per kilogram) in french fries. The data in the accompanying table are approximate values read from a graph that appeared in the paper. Frying Acrylamide Time Concentration 150 240 240 270 300 300 155 115 190 160 135 265
