While researching information on sunspot activity, Brady found the chart shown below and decided to build a model from this data. Which one of the following examples does NOT describe how Brady could use the data to build a model of sunspot activity?

Brady could work with a professor at a local university to determine the sunspot activity this year. He could then compile his data over the course of one year and add it to the data in this table.

Brady could develop a mathematical formula tailored to this data so that plugging in a given year yields the sunspot activity observed that year. He could then use this formula to predict the sunspot activity of future years.

Brady could find data on other attributes of the Sun, and compare their data to the sunspot data. If another attribute showed a trend related to the sunspot trend, one might be causing the other. Brady could then look for a mathematical relationship between the two properties.

Brady could find the location of major sunspots observed each year, and build a computer animation that showed their formation. The simulation could be time-lapsed so that a year of actual time was shown as a short animation. He could then predict the location of future major sunspots.
