Answer: 26 attendees had none of the three.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Venn diagram illustrating the situation is shown in the attached photo.

C represents the set of statisticians that had Caesar salad.

R represents the set of statisticians that had roast beef.

A represents the set of statisticians that had apple pie for dessert.

x represents the number that had Caesar salad and apple pie for dessert only.

y represents the number that had Caesar salad and roast beef.

z represents the number that had roast beef and apple pie for dessert only.

If 15 had at least two of those three offerings,it means that

x + y + z = 15

Therefore,

35 - (x + y + 2) + 28 - (y + z + 2) + 45 - (x + z + 2) + 2 + none = 100

35 - x - y - 2 + 28 - y - z - 2 + 45 - x - z - 2 + 2 + none = 100

35 + 28 + 45 - x - x - y - y - z - z - 2 - 2 - 2 + 2 + none = 100

108 - 2x - 2y - 2z - 4 + none = 100

108 - 4 - 2(x + y + z) + none = 100

Since x + y + z = 15, then

104 - 2(15) + none = 100

74 + none = 100

none = 100 - 74 = 26

----
20x = 14*50
x = 35 lbs (amt. of 80 cent tea to use)

1) -24, -4, 16, 36, ...<br> Find a23
viktelen [127]

We're given the Arithmetic Progression <em>-24, -4, 16, 36 ...</em> .

We know that a term in an AP is generally represented as:

\bf a_n\ =\ a\ +\ (n\ -\ 1)d

where,

  • a = the first term in the sequence
  • n = the number of the term/number of terms
  • d = difference between two terms

We need to find \sf a_2_3.

From the given progression, we have:

  • a = -24
  • n = 23
  • d = (-24 - (-4) = -20

Using these in the formula,

\sf a_2_3\ =\ a\ +\ (n\ -\ 1)d\\\\\\a_2_3\ =\ -24\ +\ (23\ -\ 1)\ \times\ (-20)\\\\\\a_2_3\ =\ -24\ +\ 22\ \times (-20)\\\\\\a_2_3\ =\ -24\ -\ 440\\\\\\\bf a_2_3\ =\ -464

Therefore, the 23rd term in the AP is -464.

Hope it helps. :)
