On Wednesday November 12th, Mr. Baker’s Mathematical Applications class conducted a debate on teenage driving “Are teens really the worst drivers?”.  The female students in the class had to prove that teenagers are really the worst drivers and used basic statistics and graphs to show that more teenagers get into fatal accidents than any other group of drivers.  The male students in the the class had to show that teenagers are not the worst drivers. They used some of the same statistics to show that seniors are really worse drivers than teenagers.  Below are a few examples of the graphs they used to prove their points. 

Graph showing Teens are worse drivers

Graph showing seniors are worse drivers

Accidents per million miles driven

After the debate the class decided that overall teenagers are worse drivers and further laws and education should be used to help prevent the number one cause for teenage deaths.
