For the following dataset, describe in a sentence or two the transformation necessary to linearize the data. Be sure to convince your teacher that you understand
To determine the transformation necessary to linearize the data, we can plot the given data points on a scatter plot to see the relationship between X and Y. By visual inspection, we can notice that the data appears to have a non-linear relationship, specifically an exponential relationship, where Y seems to show exponential growth as X increases. To linearize the data, we need to apply a logarithmic transformation to Y by taking the natural logarithm (ln) of each Y value. This can be done by using a mathematical software or programming language to perform the transformation, or by using a calculator to manually calculate log values for each Y value. By plotting the transformed data points, we should obtain a linear relationship between X and the transformed Y values.
