It is believed that one of the experimental values of y is abnormal and also

that x and y are related by an equation of the form

2x

= a b , where

a and b are constants. It is possible to represent the above equation on a

straight line graph by plotting lg y as the vertical axis and choosing a
suitable variable for the horizontal axis. Explain how this can be done and
hence draw the straight line graph for the given data.

Use your graph
(i) estimate the value of a and of b ,
