Answer: The required common ratio is 0.79.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that in a geometric series, each term is 21% less than the previous term.

We are to find the common ratio r for this geometric series.

Let the first term of the give geometric series be a.

Then, according to the given information, the second term of the geometric series will be

$a_2=a-21\%\times a=a-\dfrac{21}{100}a=\dfrac{100-21}{100}a=\dfrac{79}{100}a=0.79a.$

Therefore, the required common ratio for the given geometric series is given by

$r=\dfrac{0.79a}{a}=0.79.$

Thus, the required common ratio is 0.79.

To get a number to decrease by 21% you multiply it by 0.79 (1-0.21)
r = 0.79

Answer:

0.7486 = 74.86% probability of family expenses for the weekend being more than $580.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The American Automobile Association reported that families planning to travel over the Labor Day weekend would spend an average of $735.

This means that $\mu = 735$

Assume that the amount spent is normally distributed with a standard deviation of $230.

This means that $\sigma = 230$

What is the probability of family expenses for the weekend being: a. more than $580

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 580. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{580 - 735}{230}$

$Z = -0.67$

$Z = -0.67$ has a pvalue of 0.2514

1 - 0.2514 = 0.7486

0.7486 = 74.86% probability of family expenses for the weekend being more than $580.

Answer:

The answers are x < -65, x > 85, x < 180, x<= -13, and x >=25.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first three, there's an open circle so the sign for the inequality would be < or > but for the last two, there's a closed circle so the sign for the inequality would be <= or >=, the ones with a line underneath. For 1, 3, and 4, the line goes to the left, showing that x is a number less than the point so it would have <, the less than sign. For 2 and 5, the line goes to the right, showing that x is a number greater than the point so it would have >, the greater than sign.

There's a trick to figuring out the right sign. If the line is pointing to the left, the inequality would be x < __, and the sign is pointng to the left. If the line is pointing to the right, the inequality would be x > __, and the sign is pointng to the right. This only works is x is on the left side of the inequality.
