(a) Using a coordinate system similar to the one shown in the following figure (or a photocopy), plot the two points from Table A corresponding to the data for the years 1992 and 2000.

(b) Use the midpoint formula with the two points that you plotted in part (a) to obtain an approximation for the total dollar amount paid in 1996. (Round the answer to two decimal places.)

(c) Compute the percentage error in the approximation in part (b). The actual 1996 value is given in the table.
