Postgraduate Mathematics II task 112: For the data set 1,2,…,9, which fraction equals its arithmetic mean before simplification?
Choose an option to check your answer.
The sum is n(n+1)/2=45, so the mean is 45/9.

Choose an option to check your answer.
The sum is n(n+1)/2=45, so the mean is 45/9.
Choose an option to check your answer.
There are 4 favourable outcomes out of 12 equally likely outcomes, so P(red)=4/12.
The coordinate differences are 3 and 4, so the distance is √(3²+4²)=5.
The dot product is 3×3+3×5=24.
Choose an option to check your answer.
The sum is n(n+1)/2=36, so the mean is 36/8.
Choose an option to check your answer.
There are 3 favourable outcomes out of 10 equally likely outcomes, so P(red)=3/10.
The coordinate differences are 3 and 4, so the distance is √(3²+4²)=5.
f′(x)=6x²+12x. Substituting x=3 gives 90.
An antiderivative is 3/2 x²+2x. At x=4, the value is 32.0.
Subtract 4 from both sides and divide by 6: x = (22-4)/6 = 3.
By Vieta’s formula, the sum of the roots equals the coefficient 13.
aₙ=a₁+(n−1)d=3+(15−1)×5=73.
