Question

HELP NOW PLEASE. The yearly attendance at a ballpark is shown in the table. Which answer describes the average rate of change from Year 2 to Year 5?

Answer 1

I think the last one. Sorry if I’m wrong. Minus year 2 and 5

Answer 2

Option. A is the correct option.

Explanation:

The yearly attendance at a ballpark is shown in the table attached.

We have to describe the average rate of change in attendance from year 2 to year 5.

Since rate of change in the attendance will be described by
`\frac{\text{Difference in attendance}}{\text{Difference in years}}`

Therefore, average change in attendance =
`\frac{\text{Attendance in year 5 - attendance in year 2}}{\text{5-2}}`

=
`(333.7-298.3)/(5-2)=(35.40)/(3)`

= 11.80 thousands per year

≈ 11800 people per year

Therefore, there is an average rate of change of 11800 people per year from year 2 to year 5.

Option A. is the answer.
