Answer:

a_{n} = 5n - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₄ = 18 , then

a₁ + 3d = 18 , that is

3 + 3d = 18 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

3d = 15 (divide both sides by 3 )

d = 5

Then

a_{n} = 3 + 5(n - 1) = 3 + 5n - 5 = 5n - 2 ← explicit rule

a normal distribution has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 1 what is the probability of selecting a number between 8 and
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

0.815

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the z-scores.

z = (x − μ) / σ

z₁ = (8 − 10) / 1

z₁ = -2

z₂ = (11 − 10) / 1

z₂ = 1

P(-2 < Z < 1) = P(Z < 1) − P(Z < -2)

Use a chart, calculator, or the empirical rule to find the probability.

Using the empirical rule:

P(-2 < Z < 1) = 0.84 − 0.025

P(-2 < Z < 1) = 0.815

Using a chart:

P(-2 < Z < 1) = 0.8413 − 0.0228

P(-2 < Z < 1) = 0.8185
