Question

A farmer in Northern Ohio has been setting traps for years to determine what pests are on the farm as well as their approximate numbers. This allows her to determine any preventative measures she should take in the future to protect her crops.

The data table shows the number of Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs that she captured over the years.

Year: 2011 Average number of brown Marmorated Stink bugs: 150

Year: 2012- Average number of brown Marmorated Stink bugs: 425

Year: 2013 Average number of brown Marmorated Stink bugs: 1213

Year: 2014 Average number of brown Marmorated Stink bugs: 3465

Year: 2015 Average number of brown Marmorated Stink bugs: 9895

What would a graph of this situation look like?

Answer 1

bar graph

Answer 2

I'm not trying to find out what graph it is I need to make a graph and I don't know how

Answer 3

Microsoft word

Answer 4

The shape of the graph you get would depend on the scale you use, but it could learn something like the attached drawing, assuming we use a bar graph as suggested. You would, of course, want to include a title and labels for the axis and a marked scale.

If it's a written description rather than a drawing that you need, you might mention that Number of bugs caught is plotted against Year, with the Number of bugs increasing by a factor of roughly 3 for each year that passes

Answer 5

Line graph works too

Answer 6

You can see the trend line

Answer 7

microsoft or notability
