The sum of the 5 terms in the arithmetic series is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; First we need to determine the three values between a1= -14 and a5=30. The difference between the first and fifth value = 30 - (-14) = 30 + 14 = 44.

Since there are 4 values after a1 we divide the difference by the number of terms, the difference between each term = 44 / 4 = 11. So the difference between each term is 11.

Step 2; To find out the terms we just add the difference to the previous number.

a1 = -14.

a2 = -14 + 11 = -3.

a3 = -3 + 11 = 8.

a4 = 8 + 11 = 19.

a5 = 19 + 11 = 30.

So a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + a5 = -14 -3 + 8 + 19 + 30 = 40.

Answer:

0.505 g is more than the advertised amount by 0.005 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 = 0.500, so 0.505 is more than the advertised amount.

"Too little" or "too much" is a judgment based on some criteria not specified by the problem statement. Usually a supplier will want to ensure the customer receives full measure, so will adjust the capsule-making machine to provide at least the advertised amount. Whether it is "too little" or "too much" depends on your point of view and the dangers or costs of deviating from the advertised amount.

0.505 - 0.500 = 0.005 . . . . the difference between the actual and advertised amounts, in grams.
