P(490 < X < 560)= 0.3133

Given: μ = 560

σ = 90  

To find: P (490 < X < 560)

Normal distributions are symmetric, unimodal, and asymptotic. A normal distribution is determined by two parameters the mean and the variance. A normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 is called a standard normal distribution. It's always easy to solve questions in terms to standard normal

Hence, converting normal distribution to standard normal gives:

P(490 < X < 560)  = P(\frac{560-560}{90}≤ \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{640-560}{90})

                              = P(0 ≤ Z < 0.888)

                               = P (z<0.89) - P(z  ≤ 0)

Using standard normal table,

= 0.8133 - 0.5

P(490 < X < 560) = 0.3133

The first 5 terms in an arithmetic sequence is 4,2,0,-2,-4

Explanation:

The general form of an arithmetic sequence is

a(n)=a+(n-1)d

where a denotes the first term of the sequence, d denotes the common difference.

Here a = 4 and d = -2

To determine the consecutive terms of the sequence, let us substitute the values for n.

To find the second term, substitute n = 2 in the formula a(n)=a+(n-1)d

a(2)=4+(2-1)(-2)

Simplifying,

a(2)=4-2=2

Similarly,

For n = 3,

a(3)=4+(2)(-2)=0

For n = 4,

a(4)=4+(4-1)(-2)\\a(4)=4+(3)(-2)\\a(4)=4-6\\a(4)=-2

For n = 5,

a(5)=4+(5-1)(-2)\\a(5)=4+(4)(-2)\\a(5)=4-8\\a(5)=-4

Thus, the first 5 terms of the arithmetic sequence is 4,2,0,-2,-4
