Answer:
D. 21/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We simply have to evaluate the first three terms based on the progression's formula:
t= 1, the first term is 8, as we see:

t=2, the second term is 2, as we see:

t=3, the third term is 1/2, as we see:

The sum of the first 3 terms is then: 8 + 2 + 1/2 = 10 1/2
Among the answer choices, D. 21/2, which is 10 1/2.
It would be one thousand and two

A degree of a monomaniacal is the sum of the exponents of all its variables. So 8+5 would give u 13
Answer:

--- Variance
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Solving (a): Calculate the mean.
The given data is a grouped data. So, first we calculate the class midpoint (x)
For 51 - 58.

For 59 - 66

For 67 - 74

For 75 - 82

For 83 - 90

So, the table becomes:

The mean is then calculated as:



-- approximated
Solving (b): The sample variance:
This is calculated as:

So, we have:


-- approximated
This is NOT an arithmetic sequence because there is no common difference. It is a geometric sequence because there is a common ratio. Meaning that each term is a constant ratio or multiple of the previous term. The recursive rule for this geometric sequence is:
a(n)=3*a(n-1), a(1)=3
