x represents the number of passengers in addition to the driver.

The table above shows data for new drivers in different states. Use the information to determine the average rate of change from states that require 20 hours of practice to states that require 100 hours.

Explain what the rate of change represents for this table (use your answer from above)

A recent study reported the probability of a driver committing a moving violation during each of the first 8 months after getting their license. Put these drivers in order from LEAST likely to get a ticket to MOST likely

Currently you can get your license at 16 years old after having a permit for 6 months. If there are 13,000 drivers that get their license each year in your state, how many accidents can you expect?

A new law would make it so that those 13,000 new drivers would need a permit for 12 months before they can get their license at 16 years old. How many accidents can we expect then?
