This activity uses a data set from an actual study to explore the relationship between smoking and deaths from lung cancer.
In this activity, students generate sequences and cumulative sequences, and analyze each numerically and graphically.
The dataset in this activity lists the number of live births per 1,000 23-year-old women in the United States between 1917 and 1975. Students create a scatterplot and historically analyze the trends in the data.
