Question

In a​ country, 15.37​% of the population was not covered by health insurance in 2004. In 2011​, the percentage of uninsured people dropped to 11.52​%. Use the linear model to predict the percentage of people in the country that were not covered in 2013.

Answer 1

10.42

Explanation:

Change between 2004 and 2011 can be used to calculate linear change per year: 15.37 - 11.52 = 3.85 / 7 = 0.55 <== Change per year

Using 0.55 per year, we can find the answer by subtracting 0.55 from 11.52 2 times to get our final answer. 11.52 - 0.55(2) = 10.42 in 2013.

Good luck ^^
