  2. Create at least two visuals using your data from the data you chose in Week 2.
    1. Create one scatter plot of the data, and apply a linear model (also known as a regression) in Excel®. Include the equation, R2 value, and prediction value on the visual.
    2. Create one scatter plot of the data, and apply an exponential model in Excel®. Include the equation, R2 value, and prediction value on the visual.
    3. Determine whether the linear or the exponential model is a better representation of your data to base your prediction on. Explain why the model you chose is a better representation of your data.

    Hints for Making an Effective Chart:

    • Decide why you are making a chart from this data.
    • Title each chart so that it aligns with the data and selected model.
    • Create descriptive labels for both the x- and y axes.
    • Resize the chart as needed so it can be viewed easily.
