River variables

We now need to compare water flow velocity and pH. The scatter plot shows that the two variables are approximately linearly related. If we sort the data (Spread Sort...) into descending values of velocity we can see, from the earlier graphs, that the velocity and pH values (approximately < 0.4 and > 7 m/s, respectively) that are associated with changes in NBiom tend to be in records 17 to 30.

We shall save these records in CS14Data3 for subsequent regression analysis under Statistical modelling by selecting and deleting rows 1-16 (Spread Delete Selected rows).
