Introduction:

As biologists look for explanations of their data, patterns are usually noted that help to explain the data. A simple way to display the data is in the form of a table or a graph. The line graph of the data makes the pattern easier to grasp.

Answer to Problem 8MI

According to the given data a graph was plotted. From the graph we can clearly see that the number of grizzly bears decreased each year. Also there was a steep fall in number of bears between the years 2003 and 2004.

Explanation of Solution

According to the given table, a line graph as shown below was plotted to display the number of grizzly bears in a park ‘X’ from years 2001 to 2005.

  

From the graph, it can be seen that there is a downward slope. The number of bears declined every year with a sharp fall between 2003 and 2004. Then again there was a decline but not so steep.
