Change the chart title to “Protein X Concentration”.
Add “Culture Growth Time (hr)” as the x (horizontal) axis title.
Add “Mean µg/ml protein” as the y (vertical) axis title.
Use your standard error column for the vertical error bars.
Add a textbox saying “error bars = 1SE. n = 5 for each time point.”
Add a trendline.
Calculate the correlation to and the slope of the regression line and add them as a textbox
