Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Average rate of change.
The average rate of change can be calculated by, finding the change of the two readings and getting a average between them.
here, for x =3 to x =5
1.) in the interval, x =3 to x = 4
the change is ==> 287 - 125 = 162
2.) in the interval, x = 4 to x=5
the change is ==> 549-287 = 262
Now the average ==> 162+262/2 ===> 212
Hence the average rate of change is 212
Answer:
or 0.0025 0r 0.25%
Step-by-step explanation:
There are three categories that will get a prize
1) First place = 1 person
2) Second place = 5 persons
3) Third place = 20 persons
A total of 26 people will get prizes.
However, we want to determine your chance to win one of the second place prizes
There are 5 prizes in second place
This means out of a total of 2000 people, you could be among the 5
i.e 5 out of 2000
This is
This means you have a chance of 1 out of 400
= 0.25%
