<h3>Answer: -10 and -40</h3>
===============================================================
Explanation:
a = 200 = first term
d = -30 = common difference
Tn = nth term
Tn = a + d(n-1)
Tn = 200 + (-30)(n-1)
Tn = 200 - 30n + 30
Tn = -30n + 230
Set Tn less than 0 and isolate n
Tn < 0
-30n + 230 < 0
230 < 30n
30n > 230
n > 230/30
n > 7.667 approximately
Rounding up to the nearest whole number gets us
So Tn starts to turn negative when n = 8
We can see that,
Tn = -30n + 230
T7 = -30*7 + 230
T7 = 20
and
Tn = -30n + 230
T8 = -30*8 + 230
T8 = -10 is the 8th term
and lastly
Tn = -30n + 230
T9 = -30*9 + 230
T9 = -40 is the ninth term
Or once you determine that T7 = 20, you subtract 30 from it to get 20-30 = -10 which is the value of T8. Then T9 = -40 because -10-30 = -40.
Answer: About 191 students scored between a 60 and an 80.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A set of 200 test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 5.
i.e. and
let x be the random variable that denotes the test scores.
Then, the probability that the students scored between a 60 and an 80 :
The number of students scored between a 60 and an 80 = 0.9544 x 200
= 190.88 ≈ 191
Hence , about 191 students scored between a 60 and an 80.
