Here is a data set: 5 10 10 10 15 100 after studying the data, the research realized that the value 100 was meant to be recorded as 15. What would happens to the mean and standard deviation of the data set when the 100 is changed to a 15 for the original data set, with the 100, would the median or the mean be a better choice of measure for the center? Explain your reasoning

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The mean and SD will change

The median is a better measure of the center since it will not change in this case

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the value 100 was changed to 15, what will happen is that the value of the mean will decrease since there is a lower total value now. This will consequently decrease the value of the standard deviation too.

Yes, the median will be a better choice

This is because, by changing the value of 100 to 15, the value of the median stays the same and thus the previous information would not be changed if the median we used .

The expression for the sum to 'n' terms of some Arithmetic Sequence are given beliw. Find the 'nth' term of each
i)n^2+2n
ii) n^2- 2n​

Answers

Given:

Arithmetic Sequence

Find:

'nth' term of each

i)n^2+2n

ii) n^2- 2n​

Solution:

1) Sum of first n terms = n² + 2n

We know that,

Sum of first n terms = n/2 * [ a + l ]

Where,

a is first term

l is nth or last term.

Substitute n = 1 to find the sum of first 1 terms i.e., first term (a) of the AP.

→ S₁ = a = (1)² + 2(1)

→ a = 1 + 2

→ a = 3

Hence,

→ n/2 * [ a + l ] = n² + 2n

→ a + l = n(n + 2) * 2/n

→ a + l = 2n + 4

→ l = 2n + 4 - a

→ l = 2n + 4 - 3

→ l = 2n + 1

Hence, the nth term is 2n + 1.

2)S(n) = n² - 2n

→ S₁ = a = (1)² - 2(1)

→ a = - 1

Hence,

→ n/2 * [ - 1 + l ] = n² - 2n

→ l - 1 = n(n - 2) * 2/n

→ l - 1 = 2n - 4

→ l = 2n - 4 + 1

→ l = 2n - 3

Hence, the nth term is 2n - 3.

I hope it will help you.

Step-by-step explanation:

Series

The series of a sequence is the sum of the sequence to a certain number of terms. It is often written as Sn. So if the sequence is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ... , the sum to 3 terms = S3 = 2 + 4 + 6 = 12.

The Sigma Notation

The Greek capital sigma, written S, is usually used to represent the sum of a sequence. This is best explained using an example:

This means replace the r in the expression by 1 and write down what you get. Then replace r by 2 and write down what you get. Keep doing this until you get to 4, since this is the number above the S. Now add up all of the term that you have written down.

This sum is therefore equal to 3×1 + 3×2 + 3×3 + 3×4 = 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 = 30.

3

S 3r + 2

r = 1

This is equal to:

(3×1 + 2) + (3×2 + 2) + (3×3 + 2) = 24 .

The General Case

n

S Ur

r = 1

This is the general case. For the sequence Ur, this means the sum of the terms obtained by substituting in 1, 2, 3,... up to and including n in turn for r in Ur. In the above example, Ur = 3r + 2 and n = 3.

Arithmetic Progressions

An arithmetic progression is a sequence where each term is a certain number larger than the previous term. The terms in the sequence are said to increase by a common difference, d.

For example: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, is an arithmetic progression where d = 2. The nth term of this sequence is 2n + 1 .

In general, the nth term of an arithmetic progression, with first term a and common difference d, is: a + (n - 1)d . So for the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, ... Un = 3 + 2(n - 1) = 2n + 1, which we already knew.

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic progression

This is given by:

Sn = ½ n [ 2a + (n - 1)d ]

You may need to be able to prove this formula. It is derived as follows:

The sum to n terms is given by:

Sn = a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) + … + (a + (n – 1)d) (1)

If we write this out backwards, we get:

Sn = (a + (n – 1)d) + (a + (n – 2)d) + … + a (2)

Now let’s add (1) and (2):

2Sn = [2a + (n – 1)d] + [2a + (n – 1)d] + … + [2a + (n – 1)d]

So Sn = ½ n [2a + (n – 1)d]

Example

Sum the first 20 terms of the sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ... (i.e. the first 20 odd numbers).

S20 = ½ (20) [ 2 × 1 + (20 - 1)×2 ]

= 10[ 2 + 19 × 2]

= 10[ 40 ]

= 400

Geometric Progressions

A geometric progression is a sequence where each term is r times larger than the previous term. r is known as the common ratio of the sequence. The nth term of a geometric progression, where a is the first term and r is the common ratio, is:

arn-1

For example, in the following geometric progression, the first term is 1, and the common ratio is 2:

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...

The nth term is therefore 2n-1

The sum of a geometric progression

The sum of the first n terms of a geometric progression is:

a(1 - rn )

1 – r

We can prove this as follows:

Sn = a + ar + ar2 + … + arn-1 (1)

Multiplying by r:

rSn = ar + ar2 + … + arn (2)

(1) – (2) gives us:

Sn(1 – r) = a – arn (since all the other terms cancel)

And so we get the formula above if we divide through by 1 – r .

Example

What is the sum of the first 5 terms of the following geometric progression: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 ?

S5 = 2( 1 - 25)

1 - 2

= 2( 1 - 32)

-1

= 62

The sum to infinity of a geometric progression

In geometric progressions where |r| < 1 (in other words where r is less than 1 and greater than –1), the sum of the sequence as n tends to infinity approaches a value. In other words, if you keep adding together the terms of the sequence forever, you will get a finite value. This value is equal to:

a

1 – r

Example

Find the sum to infinity of the following sequence:

1 , 1 , 1 ,

1

,

1

,

1

, ...

2 4 8 16 32 64

Here, a = 1/2 and r = 1/2

Therefore, the sum to infinity is 0.5/0.5 = 1 .

So every time you add another term to the above sequence, the result gets closer and closer to 1.

Harder Example

The first, second and fifth terms of an arithmetic progression are the first three terms of a geometric progression. The third term of the arithmetic progression is 5. Find the 2 possible values for the fourth term of the geometric progression.

The first term of the arithmetic progression is: a

The second term is: a + d

The fifth term is: a + 4d

So the first three terms of the geometric progression are a, a + d and a + 4d .

In a geometric progression, there is a common ratio. So the ratio of the second term to the first term is equal to the ratio of the third term to the second term. So:

a + d = a + 4d

a a + d

(a + d)(a + d) = a(a + 4d)

a² + 2ad + d² = a² + 4ad

d² - 2ad = 0

d(d - 2a) = 0

therefore d = 0 or d = 2a

The common ratio of the geometric progression, r, is equal to (a + d)/a

Therefore, if d = 0, r = 1

If d = 2a, r = 3a/a = 3

So the common ratio of the geometric progression is either 1 or 3 .

required. If 2 cups of rice requires 4.5 cups of water, what is the total number of cups
of water needed to prepare 5 cups of rice?

Answers

Answer:

11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 4.5 by the reciprocal of 2/5, which is 5/2. You will then get 11.25. Hope this helped :)

Total number of cups of water needed to prepare 5 cups of rice are 11.25.

What is mean by Ratio?

A ratio indicates how many times one number contain in another number. The ratio of two number is written as x : y, which is equivalent to x/y.

Where, x and y are individual amount of two quantities.

And, Total quantity gives after combine as x + y.

Given that;

When rice is prepared, the amount of rice varies directly as the amount of water required.

And, 2 cups of rice requires 4.5 cups of water.

Now,

Since, 2 cups of rice requires 4.5 cups of water.

Hence, For 1 cup of rice, number of cups of water = 4.5 / 2

                                                                             = 2.25

So, For 5 cups of rice, number of cups of water = 5 x 2.25

                                                                          = 11.25

Thus, Total number of cups of water needed to prepare 5 cups of rice are 11.25.
