b. is the percent of female workers increasing or decreasing?

a. the model predicts the workforce in 2013 to be approximately ___% females

the model predicts the workforce in 2017 to be approximately ____% females

(do not round until final answer. then round to the nearest tenth as needed)

b. is the percent of female workers increasing or decreasing? choose the correct answer below

increasing

decreasing

y = 11.437 + 8.550x ; x from 1960

a) in 2013 ; x= 43

y = 11.437 + 8.550*43 = 379.087 = 379.1%

2017 ; x = 57 ; y = 11.437 + 8.550*57 = 498.787 = 498.8 %
