Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The information in the question can be used to form an equation which goes thus:

2nd term = a + d = 4 ...... i

5th term = a + 4d = 22 ....... ii

From equation i

a = 4 - d ........ iii

Put equation iii into ii

a + 4d = 22

(4 - d) + 4d = 22

4 - d + 4d = 22

4 + 3d = 22

3d = 22 - 4

3d = 18

d = 18/3

d = 6

Commons difference is 6

Since a + d = 4

a + 6 = 4

a = 4 - 6

a = -2

The first term is -2

The prices of three t-shirts styles are $24, $30 and $36. the probability of choosing a $24 t-shirt is 1/6. the probability of c

Slav-nsk [51]

$\text{Answer} : \text{The expected value of a t-shirt is \$31.}$

Explanation:

Since we have given that

The prices of three t-shirts styles i.e $24, $30, $36 with their probability is given by

$\frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3}$

As we know that,

$E(X)= \sum_{1}^{3}x_iP(x_i)$

$\text{where} x_i \text{ is the prices of t- shirts styles}$

Now,

$x_1= \$24 , x_2=\$30 , x_3=$36$

and

$P(x_1)=\frac{1}{6},P(x_2)=\frac{1}{2}, P(x_3)=\frac{1}{3}$

So,

$E(X)= 24\times \frac{1}{6}+30\times\frac{1}{2}+36\times \frac{1}{3}\\=4+15+12\\=31$

So, the expected value of a t-shirt = $31.

what do i write for this " Write a problem that requires adding 1 to the quotient when interpreting the remainder."

Mariana [72]

You should write a ( real world situation ) question that can only have whole numbers as a solution because you would divide and then you can not have a fraction left over so instead you add one. For instance there are 132 students going on a field trip. 20 students can fit on each bus. how many buses are needed? 7 because when you divide 132 by 20 you get 6 remainder 12. You can not just make 12 students walk to the location so you would add an extra bus.
