Hi folks,
I hope everyone has had a chance to do the lab for today. The bottom of the lab write-up talks about graphing and Excel. Don't worry about that.
I do, however, want to see a graph. Just do one graph. Please plot predators and prey on the same graph.
Let the x axis be the trials and let the y axis be the # of population.
If you need to, you can use two different numbering scales on the y axis. For example, if you have a max of 200 prey animals but only a max of 10 predators, the predators are going to have a lousy graph, so you may want to use a different scale for both. So for example, your prey scale may go from 0 - 10 - 20 - 30 etc. But your predator scale would go 1 -2 - 3 - 4 etc.
What I'm hoping you can see from the data is that the predator and prey graphs should follow each other's trends. As one goes up, the other follows, up to a point. Then as one falls the other also falls eventually. The graphs are dependent on one another.
Hand this in through Canvas when you're done.
Let me know if you have questions.
Best,
Jim Mueller
