Tom swam at one pool each of 5 days during one week. The number of people at the pool when he arrived on each of the days were: 12, 19, 17, 26, 26. What is the mean number of people who were at the pool?

The mean is 19.33

Step-by-step explanation:

How to Find the Mean. The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

ian gonna lie that is way to much
