Examples of Plots

Here are sample plot inputs which will produce our three standard plot forms. Be sure to enter the suggested data and the titles and labels into the appropriate boxes if you decide to recreate them for practice.

• Histogram of mongoose weights, with weights listed one per line.

  Title:	Healthy Mongoose Weights
  X-Axis Label:	Mongoose Weight (lbs.)
  Y-Axis Label:	Counts

• Plot of mongoose weight versus age with a linear fit to the data, with ages (x-axis) and weights (y-axis) listed in pairs on each line.

  Title:	Mongoose Growth Rates
  X-Axis Label:	Mongoose Age (months)
  Y-Axis Label:	Mongoose Weight (lbs.)

• Plot of mongoose weight versus age with an error-weighted linear fit to the data, with ages (x-axis), weights (y-axis), and errors in weight measurements listed in sets of three on each line.

  Title:	Mongoose Growth Rates
  X-Axis Label:	Mongoose Age (months)
  Y-Axis Label:	Mongoose Weight (lbs.)
