  2. (b) Explain why these transformations to give new variables are linear transformations. (Hint: See linear transformations on page 44.)

  3. (c) Make a scatterplot using the transformed variables.

  4. (d) Compare your new plot with the one in Figure 2.13.

  5. (e) Why do you think that the analysts at the World Bank chose to express births as births per 1000 people and Internet users as users per 100 people?
