According to the College Board, the average in-state tuition and fees at public 4-year colleges and universities increased from $1780 in 1990 to $9650 for the 2016–2017 school year (per full-time equivalent student). Calculate the relative change in public college cost over this time period, and compare it to the overall rate of inflation as measured by the CPI.
Inflation The consumer price index (CPI) of a certain country is given by
I(t) = -0.02t³ + 0.4+² + 126
(0 ≤ t ≤ 4)
of 2013. Find the annual percentage rate of inflation in the CPI of the country at the beginning of 2015. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
where t = 0 corresponds to the beginning
%/year
If the CPI for January 2008 is 208.837 and the CPI for December 2018 is 255.539, what
is the average annual inflation rate (per year) from Jan 2008 to Dec 2018?
