Question:

Living-donor kidney transplants are becoming more common. Often a living donor has chosen to donate a kidney to a relative with kidney disease. The following data appeared in a USA Today article on organ transplants (“Kindness Motivates Newest Kidney Donors,” June 19, 2002):

a. Construct a time-series plot for the number of living-donor kidney transplants where the donor is a relative of the recipient. Describe the trend in this plot.
