Calculate the mean of the data set {62, 75, 85, 63,69, 72, 76, 84, 87,88} round to the nearest tenth ?

62+75+85+63+69+72+76+84+87+88 = 761

total scores is 10 then divde 761 by the total number of scores which is 10

761÷10 = 76.1

see explanation

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
