Q

Average rate…
If j travels 30 mph in 2 hrs and then
60 mph In 3 hours, what is his average speed in miles per hour?

A

Average A per B=
total A/ total B

Avg miles per hour=
Total miles/ Total hours

(30+60) miles/ (2+3) hours

90 miles/ 5 hrs= 18 miles/hour

43
Q

If the numbers in a set are equally spaced the ___ and ____ of the set are the same

A

Mean and median

44
Q

Set X: {-27, -20, -13, -6, 1, 8, 15}

Set Y: {-23, -19, -15, -11, -7, -3, 1, 5, 9, 13}

Column A Column B
Mean of set X Mean of set Y

A. The quantity in Column A is greater
B. The quantity in Column B is greater
C. The two quantities are equal
D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given

A

Column A: Since the numbers in set X are equally spaced, the mean will equal the median. We can quickly find the median by locating the middlemost element: {-27, -20, -13, -6, 1, 8, 15}. Set X has 7 elements and the middlemost element is -6. So, the median of set X is -6, which means the mean of set X is -6 as well.

Column B: The numbers in set Y are also equally spaced, so the mean will equal the median. Set Y has 10 elements, so there are two middlemost elements: {-23, -19, -15, -11, -7, -3, 1, 5, 9, 13}. As such, the median of set Y will equal the average (mean) of -7 and -3, which is -5. So, if the median of set Y is -5, then the mean of set Y is -5 as well

45
Q

Set T consists of all multiples of 5 from 30 to 225 inclusive

Column A Column B
Mean of Set T Median of Set T

A. The quantity in Column A is greater
B. The quantity in Column B is greater
C. The two quantities are equal
D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given

A

If the numbers in a set are equally spaced, then the mean and median of that set are equal.

Answer is C

Q

For all integers n ≥ 1…

A(n) = 9(n) + 3

Determine one of the first ten terms in this sequence.

*n is subscript

A

The nth term of this sequence is defined by the rule
9n + 3, for integers n ≥ 1. For example, the fourth term in this sequence is 9n + 3 = 9( 4) + 3 = 39. The first ten terms of the sequence are as follows: 12, 21, 30, 39, 48, 57, 66, 75, 84, 93
