Hello!

An outlier can cause the mean to be misleading. If you have an outlier when finding the median or IQR, it will not throw off the data by much. But adding a very large or small number to the mean, and dividing it by an extra number, it will throw the number off by a large amount.

I hope this helps!

What is the explicit rule for the geometric sequence?<br> 600, 300, 150, 75, ...

pochemuha

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, this is a geometric sequence so we are looking for a multiplicative factor.

$a_0=600\\\\a_1=a_0 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}} = 300 = 600 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\\a_2=a_1 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}} = 150= 300 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\\a_3=a_2 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}} = 75 = 150 \cdot \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}$

So, the explicit formula is for n

$\boxed{a_n=a_0\cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^n=600\cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^n}}$

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you
