In 2020, an estimated 5.8 million Americans aged 65 years or older had Alzheimer’s disease. This number is projected to nearly triple to 14 million people by 2060. (www.alz.org) This week we are learning about linear equations. The data listed above was found by using data from previous years and predicting the growth of Alzheimer’s disease.

For this week’s discussion question I would like to you to find an example of how mathematics was used to conclude something from the data. I find it more interesting when I look at data which I have a connection. If you want to, say why the data you chose is of interest to you. Make sure you include a link to the site where the data was found.
