A1 = first term
a1 = 15
---------------------------------------------
d = common difference
d = (second term) - (first term)
d = a2 - a1
d = 9-12
d = -3
The negative common difference indicates that the terms are decreasing
Each time we subtract 3, or add -3, to get the next term.
----------------------------------------------
nth term of arithmetic sequence
an = a1 + d(n-1)
an = 15 + (-3)(n-1)
an = 15- 3n + 3
an = 18 - 3n

Answer is choice D

Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of μ=105 and a standard deviation equals σ=20. Find

GuDViN [60]

Probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less than 137 is 0.9452

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>Step 1: </u>

Sketch the curve.

The probability that X<137 is equal to the blue area under the curve.

<u>Step 2: </u>

Since μ=105 and σ=20 we have:

P ( X<137 )=P ( X−μ<137−105 )= P(X−μ/ σ< 137−105/20 )

Since x−μ/σ=Z and 137−105/20=1.6 we have:

P (X<137)=P (Z<1.6)

<u>Step 3: </u>

Use the standard normal table to conclude that:

P (Z<1.6)=0.9452

∴ probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less than 137 is 0.9452.

Volume is measured in cubic units.
So the ratio would become 6^3: 5^3 = 216:125

The answer would be A.

Lucas wants to use the box with the greatest volume.<br> Which shipping box should he use?<br> Box_

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

He will use the D box because it has a volume of

$27 {ft}^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a)v = whl \\ = 1 \times 5 \times 3 \\ = 15 {ft}^{3}$

$b) \: v = whl \\ = 3 \times 4 \times 2 \\ = 24 {ft}^{3}$

$c) \: v = \: whl\\ = 2 \times 7 \times 1 \\ = 14 {ft}^{3}$

$d) \: v = whl \\ = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \\ = 27 {ft}^{3}$
