Texaschic nailed it when saying that it's arithmetic

The recursive way to write this is to say

$a_1 = 6$
$a_n = a_{n-1} - 5$

which tells us "start at 6 and each time subtract off 5"

The $a_n$ portion is the nth term while $a_{n-1}$ is the term just before the nth term

A videotape store has an average weekly gross of $1,158 with a standard deviation of $120. Let x be the store's gross during a r

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The number of standard deviations from $1,158 to $1,360 is 1.68.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 1158, \sigma = 120$
