Hello,

a(2)=-6
a(3)=-6*r
a(4)=-6*r²
a(5)=-6*r^3=162
a(5)/a(2)=r^3=162/(-6)=-27==>r=-3

a(1)=-6/(-3)=2
a(2)=2*(-3)
a(3)=2*(-3)²
a(4)=2*(-3)^3
a(5)=2*(-3)^4

a(n)=2*(-3)^(n-1)

Find the 20th, 40th, 60th, and 80th percentiles of the standard normal distribution. Round the answers to two decimal places.
Fed [463]
To answer the question above, we have to use the z-score percentile table for the standard normal distribution. It shows:
The 20th percentile  =  - 0.84
The 40th percentile  =  - 0.25
The 60th percentile  =    0.25
The 80th percentile  =    0.84 

I hope my answer helped you. Have a nice day!
