When rabbits were first brought to Australia, they increased rapidly in numbers. Assume that in 1861, there were 38 rabbits, in 1863 there were 1,500 rabbits, in 1864 there were 9,487 rabbits, and in 1865 there were 60,000 rabbits.

Use 61 for 1861, 63, for 1863, etc., or your calculator will give you an error.

Make a scatter plot of this data. What kind of graph does this look like?
