17,209

Step-by-step explanation:

The line graph provides information about alcohol-related highway fatalities between year 2001 to 2010.

Determine the average number of alcohol-related fatalities from 2001 to 2006. Round to the nearest whole number.

The average number of alcohol related fatalities between 2001 - 2006 can be calculated thus :

From the graph:

Year - - - - - - - - - - Number of fatalities

2001 - - - - - - - - - - 17401

2002 - - - - - - - - -  17525

2003 - - - - - - - - -  17013

2004 - - - - - - - - - 16694

2005 - - - - - - - - - 16885

2006 - - - - - - - - - 17738

To get the average :

Sum of fatalities / number of years

(17401 + 17525 + 17013 + 16694 + 16885 + 17738) / 6

= 103256 / 6

= 17209.333

Average number of alcohol related fatalities is 17,209 (to the nearest whole number)
