This is a geometric sequence with a=2, r= -3/2.
Therefore,
a₁ = 2
a₂ = 2*(-3/2) = -3
a₃ = 2*(-3/2)² = 9/2 = 4.5
a₄ = 2(-3/2)³ = -27/4 = -6.75
a₅ = 2(-3/2)⁴ = 81/8 = 10.125

Answer:
In fractions, the first five terms are
     2, -3, 9/2, -27/4, 81/8
In decimals, the first five terms are
     2.000, -3.000, 4.500, -6.750, 10.125

The athletic departments at 10 randomly selected U.S. universities were asked by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to
Lesechka [4]

Answer: Mean = 3.5 , median = 2.5, mode = 2, geometric mean = 2.74

Median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.

The least appropriate = mean

Yes there is an outlier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given responses : 5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 2, 10, 2, 3, 5.

First arrange them in increasing order, \sqrt[10]{1\times1\times2\times2\times2\times3\times4\times5\times5\times10 }\\\\=\sqrt[10]{24000} \approx2.74

Its sum = 35

Mean of n observations = (Sum of observations) ÷ n

Mean = (35) ÷ 10

=3.5

Here n =10 (even)

Median = average of middle most numbers = \dfrac{2+3}{2}=\dfrac52=2.5

Mode = most repeated number = 2    (thrice)

geometric mean = \sqrt[n]{x_1\times x_2\times.... x_n}

10 is an outlier as it is very large as compare to other numbers.

When outlier is present in data , the median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.

Mean affected badly by the outlier so it the least appropriate.
