The table below provides data from the Republic of Doggo.

13. (5 points) Use the data in the table to plot a graph in excel that visually displays the trends for these disorders. Copy your graph and paste it below as a picture.

· (2 points) The year should be on the x-axis, with each year labeled

· (2 points) Each axis should be labeled

· (2 points) The number of cases should be on the y-axis

· (2 points) Each disease should have its own trendline

· (2 points) The graph should have a 7tle

Based on the table and your graph from #13, match the Republic of Doggo disease with the correct type of disorder ends (disappearing, residual, persisting, new epidemic).
