Grade Inflation. The bar graph shows the percentage of U Scollege freshmen with an average grade of A in high school.
The data displayed by the bar graph can be described by themathematical model
where x is the number of years after 1980 and p is the percentage of US college freshmen who had an average grade of A in highschool. Use this information to solve Exercises 107-108.
108. a. According to the formula, in 2000, what percentage of U.S college freshmen had an average grade of A inhigh school? Docs this underestimate or overestimate the percent displayed by the bar graph’’ By howmuch?
41 % $$$ by 2%
b. If trends shown by the formula continue, project when65% of U.S. college freshmen will have had an averagegrade of A in high school. 2030
