After reviewing the scatter plots and histograms, the data is less skewed and thepatternes are more interpretable. For example, The histogram for Variable X3 is much less skewed whe log transformed. Also, you can see in the scatter plots that after the data is log transformed there may be a negative relationship between our outcome and variable X3, and a possitive relationship between our outcome and variable X5. This is confirmed in the correlation chart. Variable X3 has the strongest correlation with the outcome (-0.76) and variable X5 has a positive correlation with the outcome(0.61). Moving forward, I will continue with the log transformed data
