Hey there!


A common ratio is just that number that you multiply or divide to each number that gets you the next in a geometric sequence. In this sequence, we know the numbers are getting bigger and we're multiplying, so we want to know what you're multiplying by the first number to get to the second. We can call this unknown number x. SO if we start with the first number and set up an equation, we get:


3x = 12


Divide both sides by 3


x = 4


Therefore, your common ratio is 4.


To check, you can multiply all the next numbers by 4 to see that it all checks out.


Hope this helps!

densk [106]

Answer:

c. 3.6 and 10.4 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean 7, standard deviation 1.7.

For about 95% of students, nightly amount of sleep is between

7 - 2*1.7 = 7 - 3.4 = 3.6 hours

7 + 2*1.7 = 7 + 3.4 = 10.4 hours

So the correct answer is:

c. 3.6 and 10.4 hrs
