Question 1192375: 42 Marijuana Usage among High School Students Figure 2.14 illustrates some sur vey data regarding the usage of marijuana among high school students. A sample of high werpen (ca school students was taken every 2 years between 1979 and 1989. The data in Figure 2.14 what reflects the percentage of students surveyed who indicated they had used marijuana during the previous 30 days. The data points suggest that the percentage of students having used marijuana is decreasing at an approximately linear rate over time. If the data points for 1979 (1, 36.5) and 1989 (11, 16.5) are used to estimate the linear equation which relates the percentage of students P to time t (t = 1 corresponding to 1979): (a) Determine the slope-intercept form of the estimating equation. (b) Forecast the expected percentage for 1991 and 1995. (c) Interpret the meaning of the slope and P intercept. word problem
