7. general term of gp is given by ar^n-1
hence,4th term is given by

ar^3=15 ------(1)
ar^6=405-----(2)

equation 2/1,we get
r^3=27
so common ratio r=3
putting value of r in equation 1,
we get a=5/9

so gp upto 7 terms will be 5/9,5/3,5,15,45,135,405

8. a=3
given 4th term is -24
so ar^3=-24

substituting value of a we get r^3=-8
r^3= -2^3
so r = -2

using this x2 is ar= 3*-2=-6

x3 is ar^2= 3*4=12

How to solve question 19<br> thanks

miskamm [114]

Let $X$ be the random variable for the weight of any given can, and let $\mu$ and $\sigma$ be the mean and standard deviation, respectively, for the distribution of $X$ .

You have

$\begin{cases}\mathbb P(X377)=0.025\end{cases}$

Recall that for any normal distribution, approximately 99.7% of it lies within three standard deviations of the mean, i.e. $\mathbb P(\mu-3\sigma$ . This means 0.3% must lie outside this range, $\mathbb P(X\mu+3\sigma)=0.003$ . Because the distribution is symmetric, it follows that $\mathbb P(X$ .

Also recall that for any normal distribution, about 95% of it falls within two standard deviations of the mean, so $\mathbb P(\mu-2\sigma$ , which means 5% falls outside, and by symmetry, $\mathbb P(X>\mu+2\sigma)=0.025$ .

Together this means

$\begin{cases}\mu-3\sigma=347\\\mu+2\sigma=377\end{cases}$

Solving for the mean and standard deviation gives $\mu=365$ and $\sigma=6$ .
