To find the rate of change in attendance between 2016 and 2017, we can use the formula for rate of change:
\[
\text{Rate of Change} = \frac{\text{Attendance in 2017} - \text{Attendance in 2016}}{\text{Year} - \text{Previous Year}}
\]
From the data:
- Attendance in 2016 = 701
- Attendance in 2017 = 715
Now, substituting these values into the formula:
\[
\text{Rate of Change} = \frac{715 - 701}{2017 - 2016} = \frac{14}{1} = 14
\]
Thus, the rate of change between 2016 and 2017 was **14 people per year**.
\[
\text{Rate of Change} = \frac{\text{Attendance in 2017} - \text{Attendance in 2016}}{\text{Year} - \text{Previous Year}}
\]
From the data:
- Attendance in 2016 = 701
- Attendance in 2017 = 715
Now, substituting these values into the formula:
\[
\text{Rate of Change} = \frac{715 - 701}{2017 - 2016} = \frac{14}{1} = 14
\]
Thus, the rate of change between 2016 and 2017 was **14 people per year**.
