Question

2. In an effort to improve emergency response times, the city manager made the following line graph. The graph represents the average

response times of the police department and the paramedics to traffic incidents where both departments responded to the same call.
Use the graph and predict at which of the following times that the paramedics will have a faster response time.

Answer 1

2 PM

3 PM

4 PM

8 PM

Explanation:

*Note the following:

I used the hours after midnight to calculate the time of day/night.

The lower the graph on the line, the lower (AKA faster) response time.

The paramedics had a faster average response time at the following times:

2 PM

3 PM

4 PM

8 PM

Therefore, we can predict that if this pattern continues, their response time will be faster during those hours.
