Use the data shown in the table that shows the number of
bacteria present after a certain number of hours. Replace
each y-value in the table with its logarithm, log
y.
Find the equation of the regression line for the transformed
data. Then construct a scatterplot of(x, log y) and sketch the
regression line with it. What do you notice?
