Answer:
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}}](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/4sag7gwlcrvv7lakos2w6jo813gwq56tmm.png)
Therefore, average change in attendance =
![\frac{\text{Attendance in year 5 - attendance in year 2}}{\text{5-2}}](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/npvxb2j9becd6ovhbl2x3rh055oq36a0an.png)
=
![(333.7-298.3)/(5-2)=(35.40)/(3)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/3bs54do372sn3n7vfauooa22po0u0do24s.png)
= 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.
