2. In laboratory testing using a HER2-positive breast cancer cell line, the researcher has seen early success with the new treatment. In the lab, the researcher incubated the HER2-positive cell line in a petri dish. After the cells had time
to grow, they were treated with a dose of Herceptin. The number of cells that had undergone apoptosis, or cell death,
was then examined to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. Examine the data collected below then calculate
the mean. Go to the next page to finish formatting the graph, then add the mean that you calculated as a bar to the
graph. (*note: we will be adding more to the graph as you progress through the questions).
