 Answer 1
 
3.3.1 If the differences are positive, the scatter plot of the original data is increasing.
 
 Answer 2
 
3.3.2 The peak of the difference graph corresponds to the inflection point of the logistic curve. A point of inflection on the curve of the function occurs on the same day where the curve of the differences has a maximum. This is where the increase in the values of the logistic curve begin to slow.
