We have the frequencies for each of the grades. We can estimate the number of students graded by adding all those frequencies. Let's call N the total number of grades:

$\begin{gathered} N=4+10+17+6+2 \\ N=39 \end{gathered}$

We have then a total number of grades of 39.

The corresponding relative frequency for a grade is the ratio of the frequency to the total number of "samples", 39 in this case.

Then, for grade A, the relative frequency (RF) will be:

$RF_A=\frac{4}{39}\approx0.10256\approx10.26\text{ \%}$

This will be the fraction of the total grades that are A. Represented as a percentage will be 10.26%, rounded to two decimal places.

Now, to complete the table we do the same for the other frequencies:

For grade B:

$RF_B=\frac{10}{39}\approx0.2564\approx25.64\text{ \%}$

For grade C:

$RF_C=\frac{17}{39}\approx0.4359\approx43.59\text{ \%}$

For grade D:

$RF_D=\frac{6}{39}\approx0.1538\approx15.38\text{ \%}$

For grade F:

$RF_D=\frac{2}{39}\approx0.0513\approx5.13\text{ \%}$

Use inductive reasoning to find the next term in this sequence 2,3,5,9,17. Then explain the rule for the pattern.

NISA [10]

We have been given the sequence 2,3,5,9,17.

We can write the terms of this sequence as

$2=2^0+1\\
3=2^1+1\\
5=2^2+1\\
9=2^3+1\\
17=2^4+1\\$

From the above term we can see that for the first term we take exponent 0 on 2 and then add 1 .

For second term we take exponent 1 on 2 and then add 1 .

For third term we take exponent 2 on 2 and then add 1 .

Using this fact for the next term of the sequence i.e. 6th term, we can take exponent 5 on 2 and then add 1 .

Therefore, next term of the sequence is given by

$2^5+1\\
=32+1\\
=33$

Therefore, the next term is 33.

Using the above facts, the pattern is given by

$a_n=2^{n-1}+1$
