The following data on x=frying time and y=moisture content of tortilla chips
X 5 10 15 20 25 30 45 50
Y 16.3 9.7 8.1 4.2 3.4 2.9 1.9 1.3
Construct the scatterplot and consider if these data form a linear relationship
The following data is the log transformation of the above data
X’ 0.70 1.00 1.18 1.30 1.40 1.48 1.65 1.78
Y’ 1.21 0.99 0.91 0.62 0.53 0.46 0.28 0.11
Construct a second scatterplot. Do these transformed data appear to have a better linear relationship?
