In arithmetic sequence, let the first tern of the arithmetic sequence be, a, and the common difference, d, then the nth term, Tn, of the arithmetic sequence is given by:

$T_n=a+(n-1)d$

For a linear function with y-intercept, c, and slope, m, the linear function is given by:

$y=mx+c$

Comparing the equation of the arithmetic sequence and that of the linear function, we can see that y is compared to Tn, a is compared to c, m is compared to d, and x is compared to n - 1.

Therefore, <span>the common difference in an arithmetic sequence is like the slope of a linear function as both are multiple of a variable.</span>

The standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is _______.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Standard error

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is called the standard error of the means.

It is denoted by: $\sigma_{\bar X}$

The standard error is calculated using the formula: $\sigma_{\bar X}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

where n is the sample size and $\sigma$ is the population standard deviation.

Describe the relationship between the number of at bats and the number of hits using the data in the scatter plot.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The number of at bats increases, the number of hits also increases

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for graph

Required

Relationship between the plots

From the attached graph, we can observe that there is an upward trend in the graph; in other words, when the number of at bats increases, the number of hits also increases

Hence, the relationship between them is that: an increment in at bats causes an increment in hits.
