The average rate of change between 1996 and 1997 is
The average rate of change between 1997 and 1998 is
The average rate of change between 1998 and 1999 is
The average rate of change between 1999 and 2000 is
The average rate of change between 2000 and 2001 is
The average rate of change between 2001 and 2002 is
Therefore the average rate of change between 2002 and 2003 is
Hence,the most increase between two successive years is between 2000-2001 and
the most decease between two successive years is between 2001-2002
