So the first term a=12
 the formula for arithmetic sequence is 
xn=a +d(n-1)

x16th= 12+d(16-1)=-8
12+15d= -8
15d = -8-12
d=-20/15= -4/3
the common difference is d =-4/3

A large number of applicants for admission to graduate study in business are given an aptitude test. Scores are normally distrib
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The fraction or percentage of the applicants that we would expect to have a score of 400 or above is 77.34%

Step-by-step explanation:

Scores are normally distributed with a mean of 460 and a standard deviation of 80. For a value x, the associated z-score is computed as z = \frac{x-460}{80}, therefore, the z-score for 400 is given by z_{0} = (400-460)/80 = -0.75. To compute the fraction of the applicants that we would expect to have a score of 400 or above, we should compute the probability P(Z > -0.75) = 0.7734, i.e., the fraction or percentage of the applicants that we would expect to have a score of 400 or above is 77.34%
