This is one of a collection of teaching activities on Statistics Canada's Web site. It uses E-STAT which provides graphing tools to help us explore relationships among data variables. Forestry is a renewable resource, but are we planting enough trees to replace the trees that we are cutting down in Canada? In this activity we first look at the area of trees harvested for each province, using bar charts and pie charts. Then we analyse the total area of trees harvested and the total area of trees planted, for each province. The scatter graph is a powerful graphing technique to examine relationships. Through a series of analyses, we also look at forest harvesting trends in Canada over time, and the impact of extreme values or outliers on the overall "line of best fit" for the scatter graph.
