There is 8 pints in 1 gallon so 12x8=96
96 pints to fill a 12 gallon pot
(x - d) + x + (x + d) = 12 --> Create an equation using the first piece of information - "Three consecutive terms... have a sum of 12"
x - d + x + x + d = 12 --> Simplify the left side of this equation (d cancels out)
3x = 12 --> Divide both sides by 3
<u>x = 4
</u>
Use the value of x (x = 4) to find the value of d. To do this, set up another equation using the second piece of information.
(x - d) * (x + d) * x = - 80 --> "Three consecutive terms... have... a product of -80". Then, substitute the value of x (4) into this equation.
(4 - d) * (4 + d) * 4 = - 80 --> Multiply out the sets of brackets, the * 4 is dealt with afterwards
4(16 - 4d + 4d - d²) = - 80 --> Simplify the expression inside the brackets
4(16 - d²) = - 80 --> Multiply out these brackets by the 4
64 - 4d² = - 80 --> Subtract 64 from both sides
- 4d² = - 144 --> Divide both sides by - 4
d² = 36 --> Square root both sides
<u>d = 6
</u>Now, find the values of the terms of the sequence by using substituting the values of x and d into the expressions given.
<u>
</u><u />1. x - d = 4 - 6 = <u>- 2
</u><u></u>2.<u> x = 4</u>
3. x + d = 4 + 6 = <u>10
</u>
The three terms are - 2, 4, 10.

On average, the height of a plant varies 3.2 inches from the mean of 6 inches.
<h3>What does the mean absolute deviation represent? </h3>
An outlier is a number that is way smaller or way larger than that of other numbers in a data set. The outlier is 22.
Mean absolute deviation = (1/n) x ∑ l x - m(x) l
Mean without the outlier : (9 + 4 + 10 + 9 + 5+ 2 + 10 + 3 + 3+ 5) / 10 = 6
(1/10) x ∑ l (9 - 6) + (4 - 6) + (10 - 6) + (9 - 6) + (5 - 6) + (2 - 6) + (10 - 6) + (3 - 6) + (3 - 6) + ( 5 - 6) = 3.2
