When rabbits were first brought to Australia, they increased rapidly in numbers. Assume that in 1861, there were 38 rabbits, and in 1863 there were 1500 rabbits, in 1864 there were 9487 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. In 1870, according to your model, how many rabbits would there be?
