The number of violent incidents in a conflict has been recorded for five consecutive years as follows: Year 1: 12, Year 2: 18, Year 3: 27, Year 4: 41, Year 5: 62. Assuming the incidents grow exponentially according to \(I\_t = I\_0 r^{t}\), where \(t\) is the number of years since Year 1, determine (a) the annual growth factor \(r\) (rounded to three decimal places), (b) the predicted number of incidents in Year 6, and (c) whether a peace‑building intervention that reduces the Year 6 incidents by \(30\%\) would bring the total below 70 incidents.

Answer Options

A. Growth factor r ≈ 1.500; predicted Year 6 incidents ≈ 103; after a 30 % reduction the incidents would be about 72, which is above 70, so the intervention would not be successful.
B. Growth factor r ≈ 1.250; predicted Year 6 incidents ≈ 73; after a 30 % reduction the incidents would be about 51, which is below 70, so the intervention would be successful.
C. Growth factor r ≈ 1.389; predicted Year 6 incidents ≈ 86; after a 30 % reduction the incidents would be about 70, which is not below 70, so the intervention would be unsuccessful.
Correct Answer D. Growth factor r ≈ 1.389; predicted Year 6 incidents ≈ 86; after a 30 % reduction the incidents would be about 60, which is below 70, so the intervention would be successful.
