So hmm the first term is -2
and if we divide one term by the term before it, we'd get the "common ratio" "r"
so hmm say -32/8 that gives us -4, so r = -4
thus
35-4x>2
-4x>2-35
-4x>-33
-x>-33/4
x<33/4 (x<8.25)
Solution: x<8.25. or x∈(-∞ , 8.25)
Same as before, apples with apples: (A), girls both in the numerator, total both in the denominator, righty?
Answer:
About 6 athletes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are concerned only with the percent of athletes that are above one standard deviation.
Between one standard deviation and two standard deviations, there is 13.6% of the athletes.
From 2 to 3, there is 2.1%. Above 3, there is 0.2%.
The sum of those percentages is 15.9% of 40 = 0.159 · 40 = 6.36 or about 6 athletes.
Hope this helps.
