The firs term
A(1)=-6+(1-1)(6)
A(1)=-6+(0)(6)
A(1)=-6

The fourh term
A(n)=-6+(n-1)(6)
A(4)=-6+(4-1)(6)
A(4)=-6+(3)(6)
A(4)=-6+18
A(4)=12

The tenth term
A(10)=-6+(10-1)(6)
A(10)=-6+(9)(6)
A(10)=-6+54

Firstly, we have to find the mean. The mean is simply the average of the numbers, which we find by adding each number in the sequence and then dividing that result by the total amount of numbers.

13.3 + 14.3 + 15.3 + 16.3 + 17.3 = 76.5

76.5 / 5 = 15.3

Okay, so our average is 15.3.

Now, we have to subtract the mean from each number and then square the result.

(13.3 - 15.3)^2 = 4
(14.3 - 15.3)^2 = 1
(15.3 - 15.3)^2 = 0
(16.3 - 15.3)^2 = 1
(17.3 - 15.3)^2 = 4

Now we have to find the mean of those numbers!

4 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 4 = 10

10 / 2 = 2

Finally, we take the square root of that number and we have our standard deviation. =)

Mumz [18]

Answer:

She can be a member for 8 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of months

30 + 10.5(x) = 114

30 + 10.5x = 114

10.5x = 114-30

10.5x = 84

x = 84/10.5

x = 8 mints
