The double-bar graph displays the average cost of an undergraduate student's tuition, fees, and room and board for the academic years 2012-2013 to 2016-2017 at both a 2-year and a 4-year public institution. The goal is to determine in which academic year the smallest difference between the average costs at a 2-year institution and a 4-year institution occurred.**Graph Explanation:**- The graph features two sets of bars for each academic year, representing 2-year (orange) and 4-year (blue) institutions.- The vertical axis shows the average cost in hundreds of dollars, ranging from 0 to 350.- Data points for each year are as follows: - **2012-13:** 2-year: $9,500 (95), 4-year: $23,900 (239) - **2013-14:** 2-year: $9,900 (99), 4-year: $24,200 (242) - **2014-15:** 2-year: $10,300 (103), 4-year: $24,800 (248) - **2015-16:** 2-year: $10,500 (105), 4-year: $25,300 (253) - **2016-17:** 2-year: $10,700 (107), 4-year: $25,700 (257)**Interactive Element:**- Below the graph, an interactive drop-down menu allows users to select an academic year to find where the cost difference was the smallest. The options are: - 2016-17 - 2015-16 - 2012-13 - 2013-14 - 2014-15This visual and interactive tool aids in understanding cost trends over time for different types of institutions.

For the year 2012-13 Average cost at a 2 year institution = 95 Average cost at a 4 year institution = 239 Difference = 239-95=144 For the year 2013-14 Average cost at a 2 year institution = 242 Average cost at a 4 year institution = 99 Difference = 242-99=143 For the year 2014-15 Average cost at a 2 year institution = 248 Average cost at a 4 year institution = 103 Difference = 248-103=145 For the year 2015-16 Average cost at a 2 year institution = 253 Average cost at a 4 year institution = 105 Difference = 253-105=148 For the year 2016-17 Average cost at a 2 year institution = 257 Average cost at a 4 year institution = 107 Difference = 257-107=150 the smallest difference is in the year 2013-14 therefore the coroect option is 2013-14
