Answer:

3. about 2 students per year

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change would be the difference in the number of students divided by the number of years passed.

So, rate of change = $\frac{356-305}{2019-1998}$

= $\frac{51}{21} = 2.43$

So it's around 2 students per year.

I hope this is correct and helps!
