E. Now, let's take a look at the individual curves for the sources.

a. For the Zillow Rental Website curve:

• The width of the curve shows the relative number of leads created by the source for

   each time period. For example, Zillow Rental Network created 5.98% of the leads in

   10/16/2023 - 11/12/2023 and 6.59% of the leads in 12/11/2023 - 01/07/2024.

• The position of the curve shows the relative rank of the source over each time 

   period. For example: The property website created the 2nd most leads in

   10/16/2023 - 11/12/2023, but was first when it came to lead creation in

   12/11/2023 - 01/07/2024.
