Answer:

-76/8 = -19/2

In an arithmetic sequence, the nth term, an, is given by the formula:

an = a1 + (n - 1)d, where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference.  

So, a9 = a1 + 8d

Substituting in the given data, 12 = 88 + 8d

                                                    -76 = 8d

                                                      d = -76/8 = -19/2

Step-by-step explanation:

i hoped this helped!

A1=a=5
a9=a+8d=-19
Since a=5
5+8d=-19
8d=-19-5
8d=-24
d=-24/8
d=-3
a42=a+41d
a42= 5+(41*5)
a42=5+205
a42=210

Paper clips sell for 23 cents per box. What will 4 boxes cost?
Julli [10]

Answer:

92 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

If each box has the cost of 23 cents, and you decided to buy 4, you would multiply the amount of boxes you want with the cost of each one, therefore, the 92 cents. 4 * 23 = 92

NeX [460]

Answer:

The experimental and theoretical probabilities are considerably different. This has to do with the small number of trials. For a higher number of trials, the experimental probability should be very close to the theoretical probability of 0.1429.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Theoretical probability:

The theoretical probability is calculated without considering previous trials.

Experimental probability:

Calculated considering previous trials.

For a small number of trials, these probabilities can differ, but the experimental probability approximates the theoretical as the number of trials increase.

Seven different names are written into sticks and placed into a cup.

So the theoretical probability of choosing Grace is:

p_T = \frac{1}{7} = 0.1429

A stick is chosen 100 times,out of which the name Grace is chosen 23 times.

So the experimental probability is:

p_E = \frac{23}{100} = 0.23

How do the theoretical probability and experimental probability compare?

The experimental and theoretical probabilities are considerably different. This has to do with the small number of trials. For a higher number of trials, the experimental probability should be very close to the theoretical probability of 0.1429.

Seven pieces of rope have an average (arithmetic mean) length of 68 centimeters and a median length of 84 centimeters. If the le
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The maximum possible length, in centimeters, of the longest piece of rope is 134 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the seven pieces be a,b,c,d,e,f,g

Average of 7 pieces of ropes  =68

Average = \frac{\text{Sum of all lengths}}{\text{No. of pieces}}

68= \frac{\text{Sum of all lengths}}{7}

68 \times 7 =\text{a+b+c+d+e+f+g}

476=\text{a+b+c+d+e+f+g} --A

We are given that the median length of a piece of rope is 84 centimeters.

We arrange the pieces in the ascending order

So, median will be the length of 4th piece

So, d = 84 cm

the length of piece a,b,c will be less than 84 and the value of e,f,g must be greater than or equal to 84

Let us suppose the length of a,b,c be x

Let us suppose the length of e,f be 84

The length of the longest piece of rope is 14 centimeters more than 4 times the length of the shortest piece of rope

So, g = 4x+14

Substitute the value in A

476=x+x+x+84+84+84+4x+14

476=7x+266

\frac{476-266}{7}=x

30=x

g = 4x+14=4(30)+14=134

Hence the maximum possible length, in centimeters, of the longest piece of rope is 134 cm
