Question

The below table shows the percentage of students who dropped out of school after completing high school.

Year	2005	2007	2009	2011	2013	2015	2017
Percentage of students who dropped	$6\%$	$5.5\%$	$5\%$	$4.7\%4	$4.9\%$	$4\%$	$4.5\%$

Study the above table carefully and draw a line graph to depict it.

Answer 1

Hint: For solving this question you have to know about the graph and have a good knowledge to plot the graph for a given analytics. In this problem the analytics for a reason are given already, we will set them in order and then we will plot the graph for these according to x-axis and y-axis.

Complete step by step solution:
According to our question it is asked to us to find or plot a graph for the given analytics. If we take a brief knowledge about a graph, then in a graph there are always two axes, one is x-axis and the second one is y-axis. And these both decide how a graph will be formed for the given details. The general meaning of a graph is that it shows how variations will be there in the y-axis value if we change the x-axis value or vice-versa.
If we make a theoretical analysis of the given data, then we can see that from 2005 to 2007 to 2009 to 2011, the percentage for dropped students was continuously decreasing, so there will be a decreasing graph. And suddenly it becomes high, so the graph will be increasing, and then it again starts decreasing. So, if we make a graph for that, then:
Consider the percentage of students who dropped out of school on the x-axis and year on the y-axis. So, the line graph is:

So, this is the final graph.

Note: You have to be careful during plotting a graph that you can select any notation at any axis, but you have to select the axis as it shows the current or exact data. If we take at one-another’s place in this question, then it will not be so clear for us to understand our data easily.
