1 answer:

3 0

$a_1=3\\a_2=3\cdot5=15\\a_3=15\cdot5=75\\a_4=75\cdot5=375\\\vdots\\\\\text{The general term of a geometric sequence}\ a_n=a_1r^{n-1}\\\\a_1-first\ term\\r-common\ ratio\\\\a_1=3,\ r=5\\\\\text{substitute}\\\\a_n=3(5^{n-1})\\\\8th\ term\to a_8\\\\\text{Substitute}\ n=8\ \text{to the equation of}\ a_n:\\\\a_8=3(5^{8-1})=3(5^7)=3(78125)=234,375\\\\Answer:\ 8th\ term=234,375$

Answer:

11 ;

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

30 27 22 25 24 25 24 15 35 35 33 52 49 10 27 18 20 23 24 25 30 24 24 24 18 20 25 27 24 32 13 13 21 2 37 35 32 33 29 3 28 28 25 29 31

Number of classes = 5

Class width : Range / number of classes

Class width = (maximum - minimum) / 5

Class width = (52 - 2) / 5 = 50/5 = 10 + 1 = 11

For the frequency table showing class limits, class boundaries, midpoints, frequencies, relative frequencies, and cumulative frequencies and histogram
