The scatter plots above use trend lines to identify which types of regression might be the best fit for the data. Based on the above scatterplots, it
appears the logarithmic is a more accurate representation of the data and a better fit. The logarithmic scatter appears to be a more highly
correlated to the data due to the fact the data appears to begin a steep curve and then flatten out towards the top right of the plot. The graph is
demonstrating that starting median salary has a positive impact on mid-career median salary. The school with the highest mid-career salaries are
located towards the top of the graph, with the lowest mid-career salaries being towards the bottom. Additionally, the lowest starting median
salary is located at towards the right of the graph while the highest median salary is located towards the right. Therefore, the school with highest
starting salary and the highest mid-career salary is located at the top-right corner of the graph.
