How would you compare the data in Activity 1 to the data in Activity 2?
The choice between graphing by hand and by computer depends on the specific requirements and
circumstances. Hand-drawn graphs are valuable for educational purposes and customization is a priority.
While computer graphs offer speed and accuracy, making them a preferred choice for many academic
applications.
Data
Intro Lab: Data Table 1
Wheat Plant Trendline
Equation
Wheat Plant 1 trendline equation
Y= 1.238x+0.928
Wheat Plant 1 trendline corrected
Y= 1.402x
Wheat Plant 2 trendline equation
Y= 1.0595x + 1.6071
Wheat Plant 2 trendline corrected
Y= 1.3431x
Wheat Plant 3 trendline equation
Y= 1.0357x – 0.285
Wheat Plant 3 trendline corrected
Y= 0.9853x
3.
Based on the corrected trend lines, which wheat plant grew fastest?
a.
From the data above, the trend lines show plant 2 beginning with the fastest growth rate.
Towards the end of the experiment, plant one made a remarkable change in growth rate
week 6 through 8.
4.
Why do you set the
y
-intercept to 0?
a.
We set the y-intercept to 0 to show the accuracy of the exact value of the x-axis. This
dictates where a line passes through the y-axis.
