Write a Word document to describe the subject briefly, present the data acquired (in a table), show the resulting graph and Y(X) model obtained from Excel, and discuss the data and model. The document is required to be at least 3 pages long (excluding name and references page), double spaced, 11 point font have at least 3 references, listed and cited in APA format.
