A basketball team played six games. In those games, the team won by 8 points, lost by 7 , won by 9 , won by 11 , lost by 3 , and won by 6 . What was the mean difference in game scores over the six games?

4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we were told that a basket ball team six games and in those games, the team won by 8 points, lost by 7, won 9 , won 11 , lost by 3 and won by 6

The mean difference in games scored over the six games would be calculated as the addition of the scores divided by 6

= [8 + (-7) + 9 + 11 + (-3) + 6] / 6

= 24 / 6

= 4

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
