Answer 1

Hello there,

Let me help you answer this question mathematically.

To calculate average of people per year that gained bachelor degree sum all data given per year and divide with the number of years data was recorded.

$\frac{4033 + 5652 + 6407 + 7201 + 8719 + 11154 + 15121}{7} = \frac{58287}{7}$
$\frac{58287}{7} = 8326.714$

Hope this helps answer your question!
