13. The following describes the incidence of mumps in the United States from 1984 to 2004. From 1984 to 1985, there was
no change in the incidence of mumps, staying at about 1 case
per 100,000 people. Then there was a spike in the incidence of
mumps, which reached a peak of about 5.5 cases per 100,000
in 1987. Over the next year, there was a sharp decline in the
incidence of mumps, to about 2 cases per 100,000 people in
1988. Then, from 1988 to 1989, there was a small increase to
about 2.5 cases per 100,000 people. This was followed by a
gradual decline, which reached a minimum of about 0.1 case per
100,000 in 1999. For the next five years, there was no change in
the incidence of mumps. Sketch a graph of the function.
