If a region's population falls from 100000 to 95000, what is the absolute change?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Decrease of 5000

An absolute change is the numerical difference between the final and initial values. It is calculated as final value minus initial value. A negative result indicates a decrease, while a positive result indicates an increase. The question asks for the size and direction of the population change, so both the difference and its meaning matter.

Calculate \(95000-100000=-5000\). The minus sign shows that the population fell, and the amount of the fall is 5000 people. Therefore, the correct choice is option D, decrease of 5000. The value 95000 is only the final population, and 100000 is only the initial population; neither is itself the absolute change.
