Which of the following statements best describes the data you collected? a) There are many large events and only a few small events. b) The number of large and small events is relatively equal. c) There are many small events and only a few large events. 6) How could you sort the data that you collected such that you could analyze whether your data can be described by the Gutenberg-Richter relationship? 7) One way is to gather the number of events into five categories (bins) based on magnitude and plot the results on the graph below. Each bin can include events with magnitudes greater than or equal to the bin value listed (i.e., greater than or equal to 1; greater than or equal to 3; etc.). Magnitude (N) (N)/year
