Orangutan Extiction
This scatter plot shows a negative correlation. Orangutans started off in 1994, with a high population of 2500 orangutans living on the island of Borneo. They quickly started to go extinct that very next year, and continued to go down through 2004. From 2004 through 2009, the orangutan population was consistent, with a number of 500 orangutans. As scientists noticed this problem, they began to repopulate the species. The population began to grow in 2013, and continued to grow through 2014 with a population of 1000 orangutans. As shown in the trend line, there are 2 outliers one in 2000 with a population 1500, and another in 1998 with a population 500. These outliers show a sudden increase of the number of orangutans living, witch means they started to repopulate quickly, or didn't for about a month or two. There is also a cluster in 2004 with a population of about 100. This represents the struggle to repopulate in this year. By showing this data, I predict that the population will continue to grow, and in 5 years by 2019, there will be 2050 orangutans living. This function proves that because scientist began to repopulate orangutan population, it will go immediately up like it did in the five years past. My math shows that there is a decreasing of 500 orangutans every 5 years, but in 2009 there is an increasing of 300 every year, and with that, there will be 2500 orangutans in Borneo.
