Instructional fees per term at BGSU were collected for some selected years to assess the relationship between the two variables.

The scatter plot reveals a positive relationship between the two variables. We can see from the plot that as the years go by, instructional fees per term increases. The decade between 1980 and 1990 marks a time where fees increased the most rapidly.

The assignment provided some challenges. The hardest part for me was trying to figure out how to change the plotting symbol, how to thicken it and how to change the size of it. I wasn’t familiar with where to specify these aesthetics in my code and so I spent quite a bit of time returning error messages. After figuring how to customize the plotting symbol, I was able to thicken the connecting line with no trouble.
