Professor Isaac Asimov was one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote nearly 500 books during a 40-year career prior to his death in 1992. In fact, as his career progressed, he became even more productive in terms of the number of books written within a given period of time. These data are the times (in months) required to write his books, in increments of 100:

a. Plot the accumulated number of books as a function of time using a scatterplot.
b. Describe the productivity of Professor Asimov in light of the data set graphed in part a. Does the relationship between the two variables seem to be linear?
