The data whose average is to be calculated are not given.
However, the formula to calculate the average is:
Assume the data is:
This means that the number of schools is 4
So:
<em>The average of the assumed data is 1238</em>
Answer: The tenth term is 76
=======================================================
Explanation:
We use this arithmetic sequence formula to get the nth term
Plug in and you should get the following:
The tenth term is <u>76</u>
---------
We can verify this by listing out the terms one by one. Start at 4, add on 8 each time, until you generate the 10th term. A table like the one shown below is a good way to keep track of all the terms.

In short, the error is with the "10" in the expression 4+10(8). The student should have used 9 instead. This is because of the n-1 term in which shifts everything one spot to the left.
