Answer:

B) -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If [x/2]=0 then x/2 is a number such that the least integer greater than or equal to x/2 is 0. We can rewrite this as the inequality x/2≤0. Then, the value of x in C, D and E is wrong because they are positive numbers, then x/2 would be a positive number which contradicts this inequality.

Now, 0 is the least integer that satisfies this inequality, therefore we cannot have that x/2≤-1 since -1 is an integer and -1<0. Then x/2>-1. This discards A as wrong, because for x=-2, x/2=-1, contrary to x/2>-1.

Thus B is the right answer. To verify, if x=-3/2, then x/2=-3/4 and we have that -1<-3/4≤0 as required.

 We divide 3 because it's the total number of grade she got.
Jetta; 16+19+17=52, 52÷3= 17.1
Jetta; 17.1
 So, probably Jetta got better grade than Rolanda

AfilCa [17]

Respuesta:

192

Explicación paso a paso:

                       aₙ = a₁*rⁿ⁻¹

  • Hallando termino 1

           a₇ = 3

           r = 1/2    

          a₁ =  ?

                           a₁ =  aₙ / rⁿ⁻¹

                           a₁ = 3 / (1/2)⁷⁻¹

                           a₁ = 192

Verificación;

 n          aₙ    

 1       192

 2       96

 3       48

 4       24

 5        12

 6          6

<h3>What is Descriptive statistics?</h3>

These are operations which are used to summarize certain characteristics a set of data has.

Mean and range deals with the full set of data while interquartile range measures just the middle half of the data and is denoted as option A.
