Question

The bar graph shows the number of fatal vehicle crashes per 100 million miles driven for drivers of various age groups. 25-year-old drivers are involved in 4.1 fatal crashes per 100 million miles driven. Thus,
when a group of 25-year-old Americans have driven a total of 100 million miles, approximately 4 have been in accidents in which someone died.The number of fatal vehicle crashes per 100 million miles, y, for drivers of age x can be modeled by the formula
y = 0.013x2 - 1.19x + 28.24.
Use the formula above and the bar graph. What age groups are expected to be involved in 3 fatal crashes per 100 million miles driven? How well does the formula model the trend in the actual data shown in the bar
graph?
