It's a geometric sequence.
It's the sum for term 4 through term 15.
To find the standard error, divide the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size
standard deviation = 7.5
sample size = 25......sqrt 25 = 5
standard error = 7.5 / 5 = 1.5 <==
Multiply all terms by 15
3x+3x= 10x+30
Combine like terms
6x=10x+30
Subtract 10x from both sides
-4x=30
Divide both sides by -4
x= -7.5
Final answer: -7.5
The answer should be 3/2 or 1.5
Hope this helps!
