If $x$ is the first number in the progression, and $r$ is the common ratio between consecutive terms, then the first four terms in the progression are

$\{x,xr,xr^2,xr^3\}$

We want to have

$\begin{cases}xr^2-x=12\\xr^3-xr=36\end{cases}$

In the second equation, we have

$xr^3-xr=xr(r^2-1)=36$

and in the first, we have

$xr^2-x=x(r^2-1)=12$

Substituting this into the second equation, we find

$xr(r^2-1)=12r=36\implies r=3$

So now we have

$\begin{cases}9x-x=12\\27x-3x=36\end{cases}\implies x=\dfrac32$

Then the four numbers are

$\left\{\dfrac32,\dfrac92,\dfrac{27}2,\dfrac{81}2\right\}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

While working at his neighborhood math tutoring center researching the comprehension level of the students Dion investigated that the distribution of the student test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 79.13 and a standard deviation of 6.34. What is the probability that the student scores less than 60.11

We solve using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

z = 60.11 - 79.13/6.34
