Answer: first term = 6

Common difference = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Eight term =a +(n-1)d = a +(8-1)d = a + 7d

Third term = a+(n-1)d = a + (3-1)d =a + 2d

a + 7d = 2(a + 2d)

a + 7d = 2a + 4d

7d - 4d = 2a - a

a = 3d

The fifth term is equal to 14. This is:

a + 4d = 14

Put the value of a into the equation here

3d + 4d = 14

7d = 14

d = 14/7

d = 2

Recall that a + 4d = 14

a + 4(2) = 14

a + 8 = 14

a = 14 - 8

a = 6

A pair of shorts are £15 in a 40%. What was the non-sale price
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

£10.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the original price including discount od shorts = £15

Percent discount = 40%

Original price = x

Using the expression to calculate x

x + (40%of x) = 15

x +0.4x = 15

1.4x = 15

x = 15/1.4

x = £10.71

Hence the non sale price is £10.71

Last year, the numbers of skateboards produced per day at a certain factory were normally distributed with a mean of 20,500 skat
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

This can be solved by using the empirical rule for a normal distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The number of skateboards given is one standard deviation above the mean. Approximately 68% of the data points lie within the range plus and minus one standard deviation of the mean. Therefore the required percentage is:

68 + 16 = 84%.

B. The given number of skateboards is two standard deviations above the mean. Approximately 95% of the data points lie within the range plus and minus two standard deviations of the mean. Therefore the required percentage is:

5/2 = 2.5%

C.The given number of skateboards is one standard deviations below the mean. Therefore the required percentage is:

16%.
