What is the common ratio for the following geometric sequence? -500, 100 , -20, 4,....

1 answer:

3 0

The common ratio is -1/5.

Each number is the opposite (negative sign) and one fifth of the last one. This means to get the next term, you multiply by -1/5, so that is your common ratio.

Question 9 (1 point)

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

League A League B

151.12 163.25

148 157

26.83 24.93

29 136

136 145

167 178

207 256

League A in ascending order :

26.83 , 29 , 136, 148 , 151.12 , 167,207

$Mean = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{No. of observations}}\\\\Mean = \frac{26.83+29 +136+ 148+ 151.12+ 167+207}{7}\\\\Mean =123.564$

Median = Mid value of data

n = 7

So, mid value = 4th term

Median=148

Standard deviation= $\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x_i-\bar{x})^2}{n}}$ = $=\sqrt{\frac{(26.83-123.564)^2+(29-123.564)^2+.......+(207-123.564)^2}{7}}=63.98$

To Find Q1

Q1 is the mid value of lower quartile

Lower quartile : 26.83 , 29 , 136, 148

n = 4

Q1=82.5

To Find Q3

Q3 is the mid value of upper quartile

Upper quartile : 148 , 151.12 , 167,207

n = 4

Q3=159.06

IQR = Q3-Q1=159.06-82.5=76.56

To find outlier

(Q1-1.5IQR ,Q3+1.5IQR)

$(82.5-1.5\times 76.56,159.06+1.5\times 76.56)$

(-32.34,273.9)

So, There is no outlier

Maximum = 207

League B in ascending order :

24.93,136,145,157,163.25,178,256

$Mean = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{No. of observations}}\\\\Mean = \frac{24.93+136+145+157+163.25+178+256}{7}\\\\Mean =151.45$

Median = Mid value of data

n = 7

So, mid value = 4th term

Median=157

Standard deviation= $\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x_i-\bar{x})^2}{n}}$ = $=\sqrt{\frac{(24.93-151.45)^2+(136-151.45)^2+.......+(256-151.45)^2}{7}}=68.42$

To Find Q1

Q1 is the mid value of lower quartile

Lower quartile : 24.93,136,145,157

n = 4

$Median = \frac{\frac{n}{2} \text{th term}+(\frac{n}{2}+1) \text{th term}}{2}\\Median = \frac{\frac{4}{2} \text{th term}+(\frac{4}{2}+1) \text{th term}}{2}\\Median = \frac{2 \text{th term}+3 \text{th term}}{2}\\Median = \frac{136+145}{2}=140.5$

Q1=140.5

To Find Q3

Q3 is the mid value of upper quartile

Upper quartile : 157,163.25,178,256

n = 4

Q3=170.625

IQR = Q3-Q1=170.625-140.5=30.125

To find outlier

(Q1-1.5IQR ,Q3+1.5IQR)

$(140.5-1.5\times 30.125,170.625+1.5\times 30.125)$

(95.3125,215.8125)

24.93 and 256 are outliers

Maximum = 256

A group of 12 company employees wants to buy a $100 gift card for the boss's birthday. Six employees each contributed $7.75. How

stepladder [879]

Note: 6 employees means half of the employees contributed $7.75 each.

6 x $7.75 = $46.50.

To find how much money remains to be collected, subtract $46.50 from $100.

So, $100 - $46.50 = $53.50 is the answer.
