In
order to solve for a nth term in an arithmetic sequence, we use the formula
written as:<span>
an = a1 + (n-1)d
where an is the nth term, a1 is the first value
in the sequence, n is the term position and d is the common difference.
First, we need to calculate for d from the given
values above.
<span>a3 = 20.5 and a8 = 13
</span>
an = a1 + (n-1)d
20.5 = a1 + (3-1)d
</span>an = a1 + (n-1)d
13 = a1 + (8-1)d
<span>
a1 = 23.5
d = -1.5
The 11th term is calculated as follows:
a11 = a1 + (n-1)d
a11= 23.5 + (11-1)(-1.5)
a11 =
8.5</span>
Answer:
84 couples
Step-by-step explanation:
First add the number of couples that have only one spouse that prefers dramas.
23+39+37+27=126
126 couples out of 250 prefer dramas.
126/250=.56 or 56 percent
To find the answer by making a prediction based on this data, you would find 56% of 150.
150x.56=84 out of the additional 150 surveyed couples will have one spouse that prefers a drama.

There are several ways to answer this question and I will use this approach. Since Johnny reads at a ratio of 7:3 it can be stated that for every 10 pages in a book containing 500 pages Johnny will read 7 of those pages. There are 50 groups of 10 in a 500-page book (50 x 10). Take the ration 7:3 times 50 and use the distributive property: 7:3(50) = (7 x 50):(3 x 50) = 350:150. Based on this Johnny has read 350 pages and has 150 pages remaining.
