The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) collects, compiles, and analyzes information on influenza activity year round in New York State (NYS) and produces this weekly report during the influenza season. The following data starts on the first week of December. Week 1 - There were 1,839 laboratory-confirmed influenza reports
Week 2 - There were 3,264 laboratory-confirmed influenza reports
Week 3 - There were 5,301 laboratory-confirmed influenza reports
Week 4 - There were 9,211 laboratory-confirmed influenza reports
Week 5 - There were 10,085 laboratory-confirmed influenza reports

Make a prediction. Knowing that this is the peak of the season (peak means the highest numbers of cases during the season), what do you guess the data will be in three months. Why do you think this?
