Suppose you are testing different soils to determine which grows healthier bean plants. You count and record the number of leaves on each test every three days for six weeks. What type of graph would be best to display your data?

 scatter plot

anonymous · Answer

What is the independent variable? It is the soil
What is the dependent variable? It is the number of leaves grown

What is the mode of measurement? 3 days for 6 weeks.

I would prefer scatter plot vs line graph, because line graph sort of infers a relationship between the x and y axises, which is not the case.
