1. 1) Explain the sudden dip on the following graph. 2) Explain how statistics can help to elucidate/explain the significance of historical events. Give a specific example such as any we discussed in class.

There is a sudden dip in the graph because there are less oversea arrivals in the United States from the outcome of 9/11. 9/11 caused less arrivals because the visa policy became more restricting.

Statistics can explain historical events in their data because the facts are on the graphs. On gapminder, we saw graphs that concluded specific historical events like the Great Depression.
