1. how many more participants were there in 2003 than in 2000?
2. how many more participants were there in 2010 than in 2014?

Explanation:

Step1: Compare the number of participants

Compare the values \(79948\) (2000), \(80287\) (2001), \(79908\) (2002), \(80870\) (2003), \(79040\) (2004).

Step2: Find the maximum value

Among \(79948\), \(80287\), \(79908\), \(80870\), \(79040\), \(80870\) (2003) is the largest.

Step3: Find the minimum value

Among \(79948\), \(80287\), \(79908\), \(80870\), \(79040\), \(79040\) (2004) is the smallest.

Step4: Calculate the difference for question 3

Subtract the number of participants in 2000 from that in 2003: \(80870 - 79948=922\).

Step5: Calculate the difference for question 4

Subtract the number of participants in 2004 from that in 2000: \(79948 - 79040 = 908\).

Answer:

1. C. 2003
2. D. 2004
