The third term of the geometric progression will be 1 / 27 with common ratio 2 / 3.

We are given that:

2nd term of geometric progression = 1 / 18

5th term = 4 / 243

Now, we can also write it as:

2nd term = a r ( where r is the common ratio and a is the initial term.)

a r = 1 / 18

5th term = a r⁴

a r⁴ = 4 / 243

Now divide 5th term by 2nd term, we get that:

a r⁴ / a r = ( 4 / 243 ) / ( 1 / 18 )

r³ = 72 / 243

r³ = 8 / 27

r = ∛ (8 / 27)

r = 2 / 3

3rd term = a r²

a r² = a r × r

= 1 / 18 × 2 / 3

3rd term = 1 / 27

Therefore, the third term of the geometric progression will be 1 / 27 with common ratio 2 / 3.

Solve for x: 4(x+5)=3(x-2)-2(x+2)

Zina [86]

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation by simplifying according to PEMDAS. Then use inverse operations to solve.

4(x+5) = 3(x-2) -2(x+2)

4x + 20 = 3x - 6 - 2x - 4

4x + 20 = x - 10

3x = -30

x = -10

The standard deviation of the frequency distribution is 5.54

<h3>How to determine standard deviation?</h3>

The table of values is given as:

x f(x)

0-3 13

4-7 13

8-11 10

12-15 11

16-19 0

20-23 3

Rewrite the table by calculating the class midpoints:

x f(x)

1.5 13

5.5 13

9.5 10

13.5 11

17.5 0

21.5 3

Start by calculating the mean using:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}$

This gives

$\bar x = \frac{1.5 * 13 + 5.5 * 13 + 9.5 * 10 + 13.5 * 11 + 17.5 * 0 + 21.5 * 3}{13 + 13 + 10 + 11 + 0 +3}$

Evaluate

$\bar x = 7.98$

The standard deviation is then calculated as:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum f(x - \bar x)^2}{\sum f }}$

So, we have:

$\sigma= \sqrt{\frac{13 * (1.5 - 7.98)^2 + 13 * (5.5 - 7.98)^2 + (9.5 - 7.98)^2 * 10 + (13.5 - 7.98)^2 * 11 + (17.5 - 7.98)^2 * 0 + (21.5 - 7.98)^2 * 3}{13 + 13 + 10 + 11 + 0 +3}}$

Evaluate

$\sigma= \sqrt{30.6496}$

Solve

$\sigma= 5.54$

Hence, the standard deviation is 5.54
