The scatter plot above shows the enrollment in 1980 against the
enrollment in 2000 for twenty colleges. Which of the labeled points
represents the college that had the smallest percent increase in
enrollment from 1980 to 2000?
Hint
a) A b) B c) C d) D
e) E
This is a scatter plot in which each point represents a college. The x-coordinate is the enrollment in
1980,
and the y-coordinate is the enrollment in 2000. For example, point A has approximate coordinates
(500, 800).
E: Point E
Explanation
This is a scatter plot in which each point represents a college. The xcoordinate is the enrollment in 1980, and the y-coordinate is the
enrollment in 2000. Point E has approximate coordinates (7,500,
7,700), so the college represented by this point had an enrollment that
increased only
0.027 = 2.7% between 1980 and 2000.
All the other labeled points represent colleges with greater percent
increases in enrollment.
