question 2 (1 point)

Explanation:

planation:

Step1: Identify relevant data points

From the table: when number of storms = 3, gas price = $\$2.44$; when number of storms = 6, gas price = $\$2.56$

Step2: Apply average rate of change formula

Average rate of change = $\frac{\text{Change in gas price}}{\text{Change in number of storms}}$
$\text{Average rate of change} = \frac{2.56 - 2.44}{6 - 3}$

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{0.12}{3} = 0.04$

Answer:

a 0.04
