Well, let's see the sequence, 4, -20, 100.....

so... is a geometric sequence, that means, you get to the next value by multiplying the current one by "something", that something is the "common ratio", what can it be?

well, since let's say is "r", so, since we multiplied 4 times "r" to get -20, then -20/4 = r no?

that is, 4 * r = -20
                4 = -20/4

anyway, so, we get -5 as the "common ratio", and the first number is 4, now, we're looking for the 8th term's value.

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=4\\
r=-5\\
n=8
\end{cases}\implies a_8=4(-5)^{8-1}

A team won 8 of the 24 games it played in one season .what percentage of the games did it win​
Bond [772]

Answer:

The team won 33.33% of their games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion and percentage of games won:

The proportion of games won is the number of games won divided by the total number of games.

The percentage of games won is the proportion multiplied by 100.

We have that:

8 wins in 24 games.

So

8/24 = 0.3333

0.3333*100 = 33.33%

The team won 33.33% of their games.

deff fn [24]
First, we arrange the data from least to greatest:
  90, 100, 100, 200, 203, 224, 233, 237, 245, 257, 264, 265, 265, 266, 277, 279, 285, 288, 288, 290, 290, 291, 291, 300

There are 24 data all in all. The mean is calculated by dividing by 24 the sum of all the data.
                        mean = (5828)/24242.83

The median of the number of jumps is the mean of the 12th and 13th term.
