Total Total You can use Excel for this first question. Graph Date Day # number number the total number of cases of Ebola in of cases of deaths Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia against the 3-25-2014 0 59 number of days since the start of the epidemic. 3-27-2014 2 117 77 Let March 25, 2014 represent day #0. Clearly 3-31-2014 6 120 76 label each axis. (Make sure the explanatory 4-1-2014 7 130 82 variable is plotted on the horizontal axis and the 4-2-2014 8 135 28 response variable is plotted on the vertical axis.) 4-7-2014 13 169 102 4-10-2014 16 179 115 On the same plot, in a different color, graph the 4-17-2014 23 224 135 total number of deaths due to Ebola against the 4-21-2014 27 230 142 number of days since the start of the epidemic. 4-23-2014 29 242 147 A graph is provided below. 4-30-2014 36 234 157 5-5-2014 41 244 166 5-14-2014 50 245 168 2. Are the data from question #1 better represented 5-23-2014 59 270 183 by linear models or exponential models? 5-27-2014 63 271 187 Explain.
