Data collected while studied the effect of sulfur dioxide concentration on the growth of many different pea plant.
00:07
The concentration of sulfur dioxide was varied and the pea plants were harvested and a number of pods generated by plant were counted after the growth period.
00:18
So the question says that what kind type of graph that will represent the data best? so in this case, we will choose a scatter plot.
00:34
Scatter plot is ideal for showing the relationship between two continuous variable.
01:11
So in this case, the concentration of sulfur dioxide and the number of pods generated per plan, they're all continuous.
01:22
So each point on the scatter plot represent a single observation.
01:27
So this is actually the best plot.
01:30
All right, second question.
02:03
What are the independent variable of this experiment? what axis should the dependent variable be placed? on what axis should be independent variable be placed? so in our case, the independent variable is something you want to change intentionally.
02:18
In our case, the concentration of sulfur dioxide.
02:27
So you want to manipulate the concentration.
02:29
As you can see, you increase the sulfur dioxide continuously 0 .1 .2 .5 all the way to 0 .75.
02:38
The dependent variable is the number of pods per plant.
02:50
So we want to see how the concentration of the sulfur dioxide affect the number of pods.
02:59
Does it increase or decrease? so the increase or decrease of the pods depend on the concentration of sulfur dioxide...
