Answer:
C) The mean is about 100.
Step-by-step explanation:
We see that the best fit line (out of the options listed) would be y=100. The mean can also be algebraically calculated with the following equation:
Let be the mean (average) of the values:
, which is closest to answer choice C) The mean is about 100.
Answer:
The sequence is:
10, 30, 50, 70, 90.....................
Step-by-step explanation:
We have,
First term (a) = 10
Common difference (d) = ?
Sum of first 5 terms () = 250
or,
or,
or,
or, 10(5 + d) =250
or, 5 + d = 25
∴ d = 20
Now,
2nd term = a + d = 10 + 20 = 30
3rd term = a + 2d = 10 + 2*20 = 10 + 40 = 50
4th term = a + 3d = 10 + 3*20 = 10 + 60 = 70
5th term = a + 4d = 10 + 4*20 = 10 + 80 = 90
