Answer:

D. an = 4n

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding a term of an arithmetic sequence is:

an = a1 + (n-1)d

where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term and d is the common difference between the terms.

To find d we can take any two adjacent terms and subtract one from the other. e.g. 8 - 4 = 4, 16-12 = 4 etc.

The common difference here is 4, and we can see that the first term of the sequence is also 4, therefore our formula now looks like this:

an = 4 + (n-1)4

Now we can just expand out the brackets to find the final answer:

an = 4 + 4n - 4

an = 4n

Hope this helped!

Second, multiply 51/7 by 5: 255/7

Third, add 255/7 and 51/7 to get 306/7

Which one of the following is always true?a. The coefficient of variation measures variability in a positively skewed data set r

Tom [10]

Answer:

C. The coefficient of variation is a measure of relative dispersion that expresses the standard deviation as a percentage of the mean, for any data on a ratio scale and an interval scale

Step-by-step explanation:

Th Coefficient of Variance is a measure of dispersion that can be calculated using the formula:

$CV = \frac{\sigma_{x} }{\mu_{x} } * 100%$

Where $\sigma{x}$ is the Standard Deviation

and $\mu_{x}$ is the sample mean

From the formula written above, it is shown that the Coefficient of Variation expresses the Standard Deviation as a percentage of the mean.

Coefficient of variation can be used to compare positive as well as negative data on the ratio and interval scale, it is not only used for positive data.

The Interquartile Range is not a measure of central tendency, it is a measure of dispersion.
