The data displayed by the graph indicate that in 2000, 45% of U. S. adults believed most qualified students get to
attend college. For the period from 2000 through 2010, the
percentage who believed that a college education is available
to most qualified students decreased by approximately 1.7
each year. If this trend continues, by which year will only 11%
of all American adults believe that most qualified students
get to attend college?
