Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an AP is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₅ is double a₇ , then
a₁ + 4d = 2(a₁ + 6d) , that is
a₁ + 4d = 2a₁ + 12d ( subtract a₁ from both sides )
4d = a₁ + 12d ( subtract 12d from both sides )
- 8d = a₁
The sum of n terms of an AP is
=
[ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ] , substitute values
=
( 2(- 8d) + 16d)
= 8.5(- 16d + 16d)
= 8.5 × 0
= 0
The statements which are true regarding the students whose results on 9 tests are as shown are; The median of Nadia's data is equal to the median of Ben's data.
Nadia had the highest score on a test.
<h3>Which statements are true regarding the scores on the tests?</h3>According to the task content, it follows that the results of the students in discuss are indicated by means of a box plot as in the attached image.
Consequently, it follows from observation that the median of Nadia and Ben as indicated in the attached box plot is 92 in both cases as indicated by the vertical line in both boxes.
Additionally, the highest score by Nadia is 100 while that for Ben is; 99.
Hence, Nadia had the highest score on a test.
