Answer:

the common difference = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The seventh term of an arithmetic sequence is 10.2 and the twelfth term is 17.7

a7 = 10.2

a12= 17.7

Use the formula for nth term

a_n= a_1+(n-1)d

where 'd' is the common difference

n is the number of terms

a1 is the first term

a_7= a_1+(7-1)d

10.2= a_1+6d  ---> equation 1

a_12= a_1+(12-1)d

17.7= a_1+11d  -------------> equation 2

Subtract equation 2 - equation 1

17.7= a_1+11d

10.2= a_1+6d

---------------------------------------

  7.5 = 5d

divide by 5 on both sides

d= 1.5

So the common difference = 1.5

7 = 10.2
12 = 17.7
Let's take 
d = 17.7 - 10.2/ 12 - 7
d =  7.5/ 5
d = 1.5
The common difference is 1.5

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

<em>Bethany did not do better than Richie because her average score was less than his.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Average Value</u>

The average or mean value of m successes out of n tries is given by:

\displaystyle \bar x=\frac{m}{n}

During a practice session playing basketball, Richie made m=12 free throws from n=15 attempts. His average score was:

\displaystyle \bar x=\frac{12}{15}=0.8

Bethany made 8 free throws for every 3 that she missed, this means she made 8 out of 11 attempts. Her average score was:

\displaystyle \bar x=\frac{8}{11}=0.72

Bethany did not do better than Richie because her average score was less than his.
