Bacteria Growth In an experiment, the numbers of bacteria in a controlled environment are recorded over time. The table below lists the time (days) that has lapsed and the population size

(thousands). What do you conclude about the relationship between time and population size?

What horrible mistake would be easy to make if the analysis is conducted without a scatterplot?

Time (days) 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 Population (thousands) 0.1 1.8 3.2 4.0 4.6 4.8 4.7 4.2 3.4 2.2
