If you look at the sequence, you would observe:
5 - 2 = 3, 8 - 5 = 3, 11 - 8 = 3.
There is a common difference of 3, so the sequence is an Arithmetic Progression.
nth term of an AP = a + (n - 1)d
where a = 1st term = 2, d = common difference = 3
nth term of an AP = a + (n - 1)d
nth term of an AP = 2 + (n - 1)*3 = 2 + 3*n - 3*1 = 2 + 3n - 3
= 2 - 3 + 3n
= -1 + 3n
= 3n - 1
The nth term = 3n - 1, where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,....
I hope this explains it.
Answer: y = - 4x/3 + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c
Where c = y intercept
m represents the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
y2 = final value of y
y 1 = initial value of y
x2 = final value of x
x1 = initial value of x
The line passes through (6, 4) and (3, 8),
y2 = 8
y1 = 4
x2 = 3
x1 = 6
Slope,m = (8 - 4)/(3 - 6) = 4/- 3 = - 4/3
To determine the y intercept, we would substitute x = 3, y = 8 and m= - 4/3 into y = mx + c. It becomes
8 = - 4/3 × 3 + c
8 = - 4 + c
c = 8 + 4
c = 12
The equation becomes
y = - 4x/3 + 12
Answer:
The percentile that corresponds to an IQ score of 115 is 34.13 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to find the percentile that corresponds to an IQ score of 115.
To calculate this percentile, we start with making observations. From the question, we are told that the mean score is 100 while the standard deviation is 15.
Now we want to find the percentile for a score if 115. For a score of 115, we can see that the difference between this score and the mean is 15 which is exactly equal to the standard deviation.
What this means is that the score is within +1 SD of the mean.
For a score of within +1 SD of the mean, the percentile is 34.13%
A score at the mean is the 50th percentile, a score which is 1 SD above or below the mean has a percentile value of 34.13%
Please, I will like you to check the attachment to see how percentiles are valued given the number of standard deviations a particular value is from the mean.
<h3><u>
The missing number is equal to -5.</u></h3>
-2(x + 9) = -8
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
-2x - 18 = -8
<em><u>Add 18 to both sides.</u></em>
-2x = 10
<em><u>Divide both sides by -2.</u></em>
x = -5
