Answer:

The first 5 terms are -6,-25,-44,-63 and -82

The sequence is arithmetic

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A(n + 1) = A(n) − 19 for n ≥ 1 and A(1) = −6

A(1) = -6

A(2) = A(1) − 19 = -6 - 19 = -25

A(3) = A(2) − 19 = -25 - 19 = -44

A(4) = A(3) − 19 = -44 - 19 = -63

A(5) = A(4) − 19 = -63 - 19 = -82

So the first 5 terms are -6,-25,-44,-63 and -82

If they are in arithmetic the common difference will be same, if geometric common ratio will be same.

Let us check common difference,

                       -25-(-6) = -19

                       -44-(-25) = -19

                       -63-(-44) = -19

                       -82-(-63) = -19

So common difference is same, so the sequence is arithmetic.

A standard deviation is 2500 miles, so the range of 25,000 to 37,500 is 2 standard deviations below, and 3 standard deviation above the mean of 30,000. 
We aren't assuming anything about the distribution, but we sort of have to assume a normal distribution in order to answer. When you don't know anything about a distribution, this is generally what you do.
The general rule for standard deviations is:
+/- 1 SD: +/- 34% of population, for a total of 68%
+/- 2 SD: Another 14% in either direction, for a total of 96% of population.
+/- 3 SD, Another 2% in either direction, which pretty much captures the entire distribution (4 standard deviations from the mean is incredibly rare/unlikely) 
We have a range of +/- 1 SD, so we know that 68% percent o the tire 'population' is captured in the range. We also have one more standard deviation in both directions, so we add 28% to this number to get 96% of the population. We have a third standard deviation above the mean, so we add another 2% to arrive at 98% of the population. 

Answer is 98% of all such tires.
