Growth curve (statistics)

A growth curve (in statistics) is used to describe how something grows or changes over time. It is like a line on a graph that shows how something has increased or decreased over time. The shape of the line can tell us a lot about how quickly something is changing. For example, if the line goes up quickly then that means growth is happening quickly. If the line goes up slowly then that means growth is happening slowly. Growth curves can be used to look at things like populations, economic output, or anything that changes over time.
