a, c) b) d) e) Answers will vary. 470 m3 Sample Problem 1.1.5 The winning Olympic discus throw is recorded through the 1900’s rounded to the nearest foot. It is interesting to note that 1916 and 1940 are missing due to the first and second world wars. Make a graph of the data large enough to include 1992 (use graph paper and label). Find the slope between 1900 and 1984, accurate to 1 decimal place. Add a trend line to the graph. Use your trend line to predict the winning throw in 1992. Choose two representative points from your trend line and find the slope. Explain the meaning of the slope in context. a, c)
