Answer:
Option. A is the correct option.
Step-by-step 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 [tex]\frac{\text{Difference in attendance}}{\text{Difference in years}}[/tex]
Therefore, average change in attendance = [tex]\frac{\text{Attendance in year 5 - attendance in year 2}}{\text{5-2}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{333.7-298.3}{5-2}=\frac{35.40}{3}[/tex]
= 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.
