6P.4—Presenting data

Choose a table or graph that matches the variables, label axes with units, use a sensible scale and show uncertainty or repeats where relevant. A trend line summarises data; it does not replace the raw observations.

Plot rate against temperature with error bars and a clear independent-variable axis; then state the supported range and any plateau or anomaly.

A smooth line does not prove a law, and a correlation does not establish cause. Do not hide variation by reporting only a mean.
