Bob decides that after his heart attack is a
good time to get in shape, so he starts exer-
cising each day and plans to increase his
exercise time as he goes along. Look at the
two line graphs shown in the following fig-
ures. One is a good representation of his
data, and the other should get as much use
as Bob's treadmill before his heart attack.

totally different data sets?
b. Assume that both graphs are made from
the same data. Which graph is more
appropriate and why?
