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

That is, some graph having degree sequence with these conditions is connected. Hint - Do not attempt to directly prove this using Erdos-Gallai conditions. Instead work with a realization and show that 2-switches can be used to make a connected graph with the same degree sequence. Facts that can be useful: a component (i.e., connected) with n₁ vertices and at least n₁ edges has a cycle. Note also that a 2-switch using edges from different components of a forest will not necessarily reduce the number of components. Make sure that you justify that your proof has a 2-switch that does decrease the number of components.arrow_forwardT2.2 Prove that a sequence s d₁, d₂,..., dn with n ≥ 3 of integers with 1≤d; ≤ n − 1 is the degree sequence of a connected unicyclic graph (i.e., with exactly one cycle) of order n if and only if at most n-3 terms of s are 1 and Σ di = 2n. (i) Prove it by induction along the lines of the inductive proof for trees. There will be a special case to handle when no d₂ = 1. (ii) Prove it by making use of the caterpillar construction. You may use the fact that adding an edge between 2 non-adjacent vertices of a tree creates a unicylic graph.arrow_forwardI need help with this problem and an explanation of the solution for the image described below.

Start the construction as follows: if d1, d2,...,d2 and d++1 = d = 1 construct a path v1, v2, ..., vt and add d; - 2 pendent edges to v, for j = 2,3,..., t₁, d₁ - 1 to v₁ and d₁ - 1 to v₁.
