A bell curve describes a random distribution where at either end is a low amount with the middle representing a higher amount of points.

So at either ends are “extremes” were someone scored really low or really high. The middle presents the average where most people will score

Three numbers are in an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 6. if 4 is subtracted from the first number, 1 is sub

Answer:

either of {-9.5, -3.5, 2.5} or {7, 13, 19}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first number of the arithmetic sequence. Then the second number is x+6, and the third number is x+12. The geometric sequence is then ...

(x -4), (x +5), 3(x+9)

The common ratio is then ...

(x +5)/(x -4) = 3(x +9)/(x +5)

Cross-multiplying gives ...

(x +5)² = 3(x -4)(x +9)

x² +10x +25 = 3x² +15x -108 . . . . eliminate parentheses

0 = 2x² +5x -133 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract the left side

0 = (2x +19)(x -7) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor

x = -9.5 . . or . . 7

The possible original three numbers are ...

{-9.5, -3.5, 2.5} . . or . . {7, 13, 19}
