Answer:
C. -4n + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Try the formulas and see which works.
__
The common difference is -4, so the coefficient of n in the explicit formula is -4. Every term is divisible by 4, so there won't be 3 anywhere in the formula.
__
-4·1 +8 = 4
-4·2 +8 = 0
-4·3 +8 = -4
-4·4 +8 = -8
The formula -4n+8 reproduces the sequence exactly.
Answer:
2004
Step-by-step explanation:
39.7 times 100, or:
3970 inches squared
To compare the two classes, the Coefficient of Variation (COV) can be used. The formula for COV is this:
C = s / x
where s is the standard deviation and x is the mean
For the first class:
C1 = 10.2 / 75.5
C1 = 0.1351 (13.51%)
For the second class:
C2 = 22.5 / 75.5
C2 = 0.2980 (29.80%)
The COV is a test of homogeneity. Looking at the values, the first class has more students having a grade closer to the average than the second class.
