Question

rivera compiled information about the university he hopes to attend.
college - level science
which of these best represents the data?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the trend of enrollment

The enrollment numbers in the table are \(9,866\) (2005), \(10,358\) (2006), \(11,352\) (2007), \(12,124\) (2008), \(13,879\) (2009), \(14,024\) (2010). The enrollment is increasing each year.

Step2: Check the line - graphs

• The first graph shows an increasing trend of the data points and the line.
• The second graph has a line with a very small positive slope, but the data points deviate too much from the line (the line does not represent the data well as the growth rate of the line is much less than the growth rate of the data).
• The third graph has a line starting from \((0,0)\), which is not relevant as the enrollment in 2005 is \(9866

eq0\).

• The fourth graph has a decreasing line, which is contrary to the increasing enrollment data.

Answer:

The first graph (the one with an increasing line and data points following the line's increasing trend closely) best represents the data.
