Answer:

  6.0 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of distances is a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio (1 +10%) = 1.10. The sum of 7 terms of the sequence is ...

  S7 = a1·(r^7 -1)/(r -1)

  56.923 = a1·(1.1^7 -1)/(1.1 -1)

  5.6923 = a1·0.9487171

Dividing by the coefficient of a1 gives its value:

  5.6923/0.9487171 ≈ 5.999997 ≈ 6.000

The hiker traveled 6.0 miles on the first day.

Which sample has a greater variability, or spread?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The orange sample

Step-by-step explanation:

The higher the interquartile range the bigger the variance as it the difference between the 0.25 and 0.75 quantiles which basically means if the difference between the 25 percent and 75 percent is higher then there is more variety as they are further away
