Answer:

The correct option is option (B).

He would be saving $10,485.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

1 cent =$ 0.01.

Geometric sequence:

  • The first term of the sequence be a and common ratio n, then n^{th} term of the sequence is T_n=a(r)^{n-1} .
  • The sum of the sequence is

              S_n=\frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}    where r>1

                   =\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}    where r<1

                   =na             where r=1

Here first term(a)= $0.01, r= 2 , n=20

S_n=\frac{0.01(2^{20}-1)}{2-1}

    =10,485.75

He would be saving $10,485.75.

Jen and Ron each took five tests. Their test scores are shown below.
Molodets [167]

The  statement that correctly compares the students’ test scores is that the median of Jen's score is greater than the median of Ron's score.

<h3>How to find mean and median?</h3>

Jen and Ron each took five tests. There test score are as follow:

  • Jen: {45, 91, 84, 66, 74}
  • Ron: {70, 95, 99, 69, 72}

Let's find the mean and median of the test score to compare them correctly

Jen: {45, 66, 74, 84, 91}

mean of Jen score = 45 + 66 + 74 + 84 + 91 / 5

mean of Jen score= 360 / 5

mean of  Jen score = 72

Median of  Jen score = 74

Ron: {69, 70, 72, 95, 99}

mean of Ron score = 69 + 70 + 72 + 95 + 99 / 5

mean of Ron score = 405 / 5

mean of Ron score = 81

median of Ron score = 72

Therefore, the median of Jen's score is greater than the median of Ron's score.
