### Crime Rate Data Analysis

The table below presents the crime rate per 100,000 people in Fort Wayne from the year 2012 to 2017.

| Year | Fort Wayne Crime Rate per 100,000 people |
|------|-----------------------------------------|
| 2012 | 256.2                                   |
| 2013 | 266.2                                   |
| 2014 | 229.7                                   |
| 2015 | 288                                     |
| 2016 | 307.5                                   |
| 2017 | 283.5                                   |

To analyze the provided data, we are interested in finding the absolute change in Fort Wayne's crime rate per 100,000 people from 2015 to 2017.

**Instructions:**

1. Find the crime rate for the year 2015.
2. Find the crime rate for the year 2017.
3. Calculate the absolute change between these two years.
4. Round the result to the nearest tenth if needed.

**Calculation:**

Crime rate in 2015: 288 per 100,000 people

Crime rate in 2017: 283.5 per 100,000 people

Absolute change = |Crime rate in 2015 - Crime rate in 2017|
= |288 - 283.5|
= 4.5

**Answer:**

The absolute change in Fort Wayne's crime rate per 100,000 people from 2015 to 2017 is **4.5** (rounded to the nearest tenth).
