Question

Data Insights (DI) Butler 2023-24 Click here for Details ] The following graph shows the number of deaths (in thousands) resulting from motor vehicle incidents in which one or more drivers were under the influence of alcohol. The solid line is the trend line. 12.jpg In the period from 1982 to 1992, the number of deaths from drunkdriving incidents declined at a rate of approximately GRAPH_1_PLACEHOLDER deaths per year. The actual number of deaths per year was higher than the trend line would predict in the period from GRAPH_2_PLACEHOLDER . Question #2 based on the same graph is available here

Hi Sajadd! May I ask why is the answer from 1985 to 1990 instead of none since 1965's number of death per drink drive is actually below the trendline?

Sajjad1994 · Answer

If the actual number of deaths per year were higher than the trend line would predict, the point for that year would fall above the trend line. There are two time periods in which the points fall above the trend line, but only one of these, 1985 to 1990, is an answer choice.

Answer: C

Q1 ans should be 7000, right?

Sajjad1994 · Answer

No! It is 700.

May I know why the answer is not 777 ? If you observe the graph more closely, the difference between deaths is more than 7k.

Sajjad1994 · Answer

For 777, we need a total of 7770 deaths. Even if you go deeper, it maxes out at 7200, and if we have to round off 720, we will go to 700, not 777. Hence, the answer is 700.

Thank you!

Hi  Sajjad1994 , can you please share the explanation, I am not able to get it. 
I did 25000-17500= 7500, what to do after this?

Sajjad1994 · Answer

Divide it by 10 as the question ask about "per year"

bhattarbharat · Answer

hi  Sajjad1994  the number of deaths for the time period 1986-1990 are actually above the trend line with 1985 being below the trend line. Should the answer then not be 'None of These'?

Hi  KarishmaB   Bunuel

Can you please explain why the answer to part-2 is  1985-1990  and not  None of these , I believe 1985 point is lower than the trend line so we can't mark this answer choice.
I don't understand what I am missing here.

Devikaudcaps · Answer

how do we calculate part 1 of the question?
I took the starting point and ending points 25 - 17 = almost 8000/14 observations to get roughly 500 ish so i marked 700 .. does that logic make sense?

Bunuel · Answer

I suggest ignoring McGraw-Hill questions altogether. Archiving the question.
