A ride-sharing company claims that the cost of rides follows a Normal distribution with a mean of $10.52. After paying for a ride from this company, a rider reports that his price is in the 85th percentile of all other riders' prices. If
this rider paid $15.93, what is the approximate standard deviation of this company's ride-sharing cost?

$5.20

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Z-Score chart, the 85th percentile has a z-score of 1.04 and if you put that in the z-score equation (15.93-10.52)/x=1.04. Solve for x and you get $5.20.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
