Answer: \\\Rightarrow\ a_n=a_{n-1}-3, where a-1 = 7

The next term is -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is 7, 4, 1, –2, –5, ................

Here, the first term is a_1=7

The second term is a_2=4

The difference =a_2-a_1=4-7=-3

Similarly,  a_3-a_2=1-4=-3

a_4-a_3=-2-1=-3 and so on.

Therefore, the recursive formula for the above sequence will be given by :-

a_n=a_{n-1}+d, where d is the common difference.

Since , d=-3

\\\Rightarrow\ a_n=a_{n-1}-3, where a-1 = 7

The next term of the sequence is a_6=a_5-3=-5-3=-8

4 = 7 - 3

1 = 4 - 3

-2 = 1 - 3

-5 = -2 - 3

=> An = A (n-1) - 3, where A1 = 7

The next term is A6 = A5 - 3 = - 5 - 3 = - 8

So the answer is the fourth option.

The personnel files of all eight employees at the Pawnee location of Acme Carpet Cleaners Inc. revealed that during the last six
irina [24]

Answer:

a) For Pawnee:

Range = 11, Mean = 3.13, Mean deviation = 2.44

For Chickpee:

Range =  7, Mean = 4.25, Mean deviation = 1.59

b) Pawnee Location has fewer lost days.

c) variation of the Chickpee is less than Pawnee location

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given:

For Pawnee:

3 1 0 0 2 11 5 3

Max = 11

Min = 0

Range = Max - Min

Range = 11-0 = 11

Range = 11

For Chickpee:

3 6 8 4 4 5 3 1

Max = 8

Min = 1

Range = Max - Min

Range = 8 - 1

Range = 7

For mean of Pawnee:

Mean = (3 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 11 + 5 + 3)/8

Mean = 25/8

Mean = 3.125

For mean deviation, we find the difference from the mean of each point.

Note: all the negative values will be taken as 0.

Differences from the mean of each point =

(3-3.13)=0.13, (1-3.31) = 2.13 ,

(0-3.13)=0, (0-3.13)=3.13,

(2-3.13)=1.13, (11-3.13)=7.87,

(5-3.13)=1.87, (3-3.13)=0.13

So, our differences are:

(0.13, 2.13, 0, 3.13, 1.13, 7.87, 1.87, 0.13 )

Mean deviation =  Sum of all differences/8

Mean deviation = (0.13+2.13+3.13+3.13+ 1.13+ 7.87+ 1.87+ 0.13)/8

Mean deviation = 2.44

For mean of Chickpee:

Mean = (3+6+8+4+4+5+3+1)/8

Mean = 34/8

Mean = 4.25

Similarly, we need to find mean deviation for Chickpee, for that we need to find the differences first as done above for Pawnee.

Note: all the negative values will be taken as 0

Differences from the mean:

(3-4.25) = 1.25, (6-4.25) =1.75,

(8-4.25) = 3.75, (4-4.25)=0.25,

(4-4.25)=0.25, (5-4.25)= 0.75,

(3-4.25)=1.25, (1-4.25) =3.25

So, the differences are:

Differences = (1.25,1.75,3.75,0.25,0.25,0.75,1.25,3.25)

Mean deviation = (1.25+ 1.75+ 3.75+ 0.25+ 0.25+ 0.75+ 1.25+ 3.25)/8

Mean deviation = 1.59

b) which location has fewer lost days:

This can be found out by the total number of days of Pawnee and chickpee.

Pawnee = Sum of values = (3 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 11 + 5 + 3) = 25 days

Chickpee = Sum of values = (3+6+8+4+4+5+3+1) = 34 days

Hence, Pawnee Location has fewer lost days.

C) which location has less variation?

Formula for variation = ∑(\frac{x^{2} }{8}) - (mean^{2})

where x = values of the set.

For Pawnee:

mean^{2} = 3.13^{2} = 9.8

Sum of square of all the data points of Pawnee = 169

Variation = 169/8 - 98 = 11.325

Similarly,

For Chickpee:

mean^{2}  = 4.25^{2} = 18.06

Sum of square of all the data points of Chickpee = 176

Variation = 176/8 - 18.06

Variation = 22-18.06

Variation = 4

Hence, variation of the Chickpee is less than Pawnee location
