The situation represents a geometric sequence because the sucessive y- values have a common ratio of 1:5. B. The situation represents a arithmetic sequence because the sucessive y-values have a common difference of 1.05. C.

Answer:

C. The situation represents a geometric sequence because the successive y-values have a common ratio of 1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

We  are given

In 2006, 5,200 highway accidents were recorded in a city

The number of highway accidents increases by 5% every year

Let y represent the number of highway accidents x years since 2006

Since, 5% is increasing every year of previous number

so, this is geometric series

In 2006 :

x=0

y_0=5200

now, we can use formula

i=5%=0.05

y=y_0(1+i)^{x}

now, we can plug values

y=5200(1+0.05)^{x}

y=5200(1.05)^{x}

now, we can compare with nth terms of geometric series

a_n=a_1(r)^n

where r is the common ratio

so, we can find r

r=1.05

so, common ratio is 1.05

Answer:

C. The situation represents a geometric sequence because the successive y-values have a common ratio of 1.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial number of accidents = 5200 = Po

It increases 5% every year.

So r = 5% = 0.05

y = Po(1 + r)^x

y = 5200(1 + 0.05)^x

y = 5200(1.05)^x

This sequence is an exponential. Which is a geometric sequence.

Answer: C. The situation represents a geometric sequence because the successive y-values have a common ratio of 1.05.

Thank you.

HELP A.S.A.P!!!! The data to represent average test scores for a class of 16 students includes an outlier value of 78. If the ou
kolezko [41]

When the outlier is removed The mean would increase.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Outliers are the value that lies outside the set of data. i.e. the data doesn't fit in the group.

Removing outliers can affect mean more than median. Because outlier removal sometimes affect the median but in a small percentage or sometimes it will remain the same.

Let us prove, consider 16 values one with 78 and other 15 with values nearly 85, 84 that will give the mean value as 84.

78, 84, 82, 86, 84, 85, 83, 86, 82, 85, 84, 83, 86, 85, 86, 85.

Mean =\frac{Sum of the values}{Number of values}.

Mean =\frac{78+84+82+86+84+85+83+86+82+85+84+83+86+85+86+85}{16}.

Mean =\frac{1344}{16}.

Mean = 84.

Remove 78 from the data set then the data set is 84, 82, 86, 84, 85, 83, 86, 82, 85, 84, 83, 86, 85, 86, 85 and number of data is reduced to 15.

Mean =\frac{84+82+86+84+85+83+86+82+85+84+83+86+85+86+85}{15}.

Mean =\frac{1266}{15}.

Mean = 84.4.

The mean is increased.
