Reference no: EM13966210

An experiment was conducted to observe the effect of an increase in temperature on the potency of an antibiotic. Three one ounce portions of the antibiotic were stored for equal lengths of time at each of the following Fahrenheit temperatures: 40?, 55?, 70?, and 90?. The potency readings observed at the end of the experimental period were

Potency reading, y	49	38	27	24	38	33	19	28	16	18	23
Temperature, x	40?			55?			70?			90?
