S_{30} = 1455

generate a few terms of the sequence using a_{n} = 3n + 2

a_{1} = ( 3 × 1) + 2 = 5

a_{2} = (3 × 2) + 2 = 8

a_{3} = (3 × 3 ) + 2 = 11

a_{4} = (3 × 4 ) + 2 = 14

a_{5} = ( 3 × 5 ) + 2 = 17

the terms are 5, 8, 11, 14, 17

these are the terms of an arithmetic sequence

sum to n terms is calculated using S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a + (n-1)d]

where a is the first term and d the common difference

d = 8 - 5 = 11 - 8 = 14 - 11 = 3 and a_{1} = 5

S_{30} = \frac{30}{2} [( 2 × 5) + (29 × 3) ]

= 15( 10 + 87) = 15 × 97 = 1455

What is the median of the following string of values?<br>16, 95, 3, 37.97. 13, 27.42, 64, 14​
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

21.71

Step-by-step explanation:

1) you need to order then by the size

      3, 13, 14, 16, 27.42, 37.97 ,64, 95

2) if there is an odd amount of numbers then the median would be the center term. but if it an even number then you add the two middle terms together and divide them by 2.

     16+27.42= 43.42

     43.42 divided by 2=21.71

Hope this helped
