Question
Early life corresponds to the first bacterial colonization of the digestive tract, creating a microbiome thought to play an
important role in human development. What might be the effect of early exposure to antibiotics on children's development? One
study followed 11,532 full-term babies all born in the county of Avon, United Kingdom, during 1991 and 1992. Exposures to
antibiotics during infancy were recorded, along with measures of body mass at regular intervals over several years. The
researchers found that antibiotic exposure during the first six months of life was associated with increased body mass later in
childhood.

Expert Solution
Step 1

A scatter plot is a graphical representation of two variables to investigate if there exists an association between them. There are three types of scatter plots. If there is an upward trend, the increase or decrease of one variable is associated with the increase or decrease of other. If there is a downward trend the increase of one variable is associated with the decrease of other variable and vice-versa.
