Answer 1

Percentage growth was about 32%

Explanation:

Given the data:

Year : ______1 ____ 2 _____ 3 _______ 4

Students: __ 14 ___ 19 _____ 25 ______ 33

Number of students :

Year 1 & year 2 = 19 - 14 = 5

Year 2 & year 3 = 25 - 19 = 6

Year 3 & year 4 = 33 - 25 = 8

Hence,The two years at which the greatest growth was observed is between year 3 and year 4.

Percentage growth :

((33 - 25) / 25) * 100%

(8 / 25) * 100%

0.32 * 100%

= 32%
