A group of environmental scientists is developing a simulation to predict the spread of wildfires in a forest. The model includes input variables such as wind speed, temperature, humidity, vegetation type, and elevation. The simulation is taking too long to run, so the scientists remove elevation and vegetation type from the model.
Which of the following is the most likely effect of simplifying the model?

City planners are using a simulation to estimate traffic congestion caused by different road construction projects. The original simulation includes detailed variables like weather, time of day, road surface conditions, driver behavior, and number of vehicles. To improve performance, the planners simplify the model by removing road surface conditions and driver behavior.
What is the primary trade-off of this simplification?

A social media site allows users to send messages to each other. A group of researchers gathered user data for the first 10 years of the site’s existence. Some of the data are summarized in the table below, along with some of the company milestones.
The researchers noticed that the total number of registered users appears to be increasing at about a constant rate. If this pattern continues, which of the following best approximates the total number of registered users, in millions, in year 12 (two years after the last entry in the table) ?
