A certain population of fish in a pond is decreasing by 2% every year. 3,000 fish were originally placed into the pond. Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence formed
by the decrease in the number of fish. How many fish would we expect to be in the pond
after 10 years?

Rockwell hardness of pins of a certain type is known to have a mean value of 50 and a standard deviation of 1.1. (round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) if the distribution is normal, what is the probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 8 pins is at least 51?

Lems1. the following data set represents the scores on intelligence quotient(iq) examinations of 40 sixth-grade students at a particular school: 114, 122, 103, 118, 99, 105, 134, 125, 117, 106, 109, 104, 111, 127,133, 111, 117, 103, 120, 98, 100, 130, 141, 119, 128, 106, 109, 115,113, 121, 100, 130, 125, 117, 119, 113, 104, 108, 110, 102(a) present this data set in a frequency histogram.(b) which class interval contains the greatest number of data values? (c) is there a roughly equal number of data in each class interval? (d) does the histogram appear to be approximately symmetric? if so,about which interval is it approximately symmetric?
