Question

internet use the description and graph to compare internet use at home and internet use away from home, where y is the number of people polled, in thousands, that use the internet several times a day, and x is the number of months since march 2004. use the description and graph to compare internet use at home and internet use away from home since march 2004. internet use at home about 10,000 of those polled used the internet at home in march 2004. the number of users decreased to 7000 at 36 months since march 2004. the number of users continued to increase after 36 months since march 2004. internet use away from home how often do you use the internet away from home? graph with x - axis months since march 2004 (0–72) and y - axis several times a day (0–12), showing a curve that starts at ~3, stays flat until 36, then increases internet use at home initially has a select choice number of users than internet use away from home. both internet use at home and internet use away from home select choice after 36 months since march 2004. select choice reaches 0 users.

Explanation:

First Blank:

• Explanation: Initially (March 2004, \( x = 0 \)), home internet use is 10,000 (in thousands) and from the graph, away - from - home use at \( x = 0 \) is around 3 (in thousands, since the y - axis is "Several Times a Day" but the home use is given as number of people in thousands). So 10,000 > 3 (in thousands - scale for home, and the graph's y - axis for away is a different measure but the initial count for home is 10,000 and away is much less). So home has a greater number of users initially.
• Answer for first blank: greater

Second Blank:

• Explanation: For home use: "The number of users continued to increase after 36 months since March 2004". For away - from - home use: The graph shows that after 36 months (x = 36), the curve starts to increase (goes up after x = 36). So both increase after 36 months.
• Answer for second blank: increase

Third Blank:

• Explanation: For home use, the number decreased to 7000 at 36 months and then increased, never reaching 0. For away - from - home use, the graph shows a non - zero and increasing trend after 36 months and was non - zero initially. So neither reaches 0 users.
• Answer for third blank: Neither

Final Answers:

1. greater
2. increase
3. Neither

Answer:

First Blank:

• Explanation: Initially (March 2004, \( x = 0 \)), home internet use is 10,000 (in thousands) and from the graph, away - from - home use at \( x = 0 \) is around 3 (in thousands, since the y - axis is "Several Times a Day" but the home use is given as number of people in thousands). So 10,000 > 3 (in thousands - scale for home, and the graph's y - axis for away is a different measure but the initial count for home is 10,000 and away is much less). So home has a greater number of users initially.

• Explanation: For home use, the number decreased to 7000 at 36 months and then increased, never reaching 0. For away - from - home use, the graph shows a non - zero and increasing trend after 36 months and was non - zero initially. So neither reaches 0 users.
