We have been given that a colleague has been tutoring six students in 11th grade to prepare for the ACT. Student scores were as follows: 20, 18, 16, 15, 23, 20. We are asked to find the mean of the ACT scores.
We will use mean formula to solve our given problem.




Upon rounding to nearest whole number, we will get:

Therefore, the mean of the ACT scores is 19 and option 'c' is the correct choice.
Answer:
293 feet per second
Step-by-step explanation:
1056000 feet per hour
1 hour = 60 minutes
1056000 divided by 60 = 17600 feet per minute
1 minute = 60 seconds
17600 divided by 60 = 293 feet per second
Answer: The number is 26.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1
The nth term of a different sequence is 30–n²
We want to find a number that belongs to both sequences (it is not necessarily for the same value of n) then we can use n in one term (first one), and m in the other (second one), such that n and m must be integer numbers.
we get:
3n²- 1 = 30–m²
Notice that as n increases, the terms of the first sequence also increase.
And as n increases, the terms of the second sequence decrease.
One way to solve this, is to give different values to m (m = 1, m = 2, etc) and see if we can find an integer value for n.
if m = 1, then:
3n²- 1 = 30–1²
3n²- 1 = 29
3n² = 30
n² = 30/3 = 10
n² = 10
There is no integer n such that n² = 10
now let's try with m = 2, then:
3n²- 1 = 30–2² = 30 - 4
3n²- 1 = 26
3n² = 26 + 1 = 27
n² = 27/3 = 9
n² = 9
n = √9 = 3
So here we have m = 2, and n = 3, both integers as we wanted, so we just found the term that belongs to both sequences.
the number is:
3*(3)² - 1 = 26
30 - 2² = 26
The number that belongs to both sequences is 26.
