Answer:
35 , 36 , 37
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the consecutive integers be x, (x + 1) , (x +2)
x + x + 1 + x +2 = 108
x + x + x + 1 + 2 = 108 {Combine like terms}
3x + 3 = 108 {Subtract 3 from both sides}
3x = 108 - 3
3x = 105 {Divide both sides by 3}
x = 105/3
x = 35
The three integers are, 35 , 36 , 37
Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the expected values are given by:
a) 120.
b) 150.
<h3>What is the binomial probability distribution?</h3>
It is the probability of <u>exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability</u> of a success on each trial.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
E(X) = np
In this problem, for both items, we consider that the number cube is rolled 180 times, hence n = 180.
Item a:
4 of the 6 possible values are greater than 2, hence p = 4/6 = 2/3.
The expected value is given by:
E(X) = 180 x 2/3 = 120.
Item b:
5 of the 6 values are less than 6, hence p = 5/6.
The expected value is given by:
E(X) = 180 x 5/6 = 150.

To answer this item, we take the differential of the equation and equate to zero.
C(x) = 0.8x² - 256x + 25939
Differentiation,
dC(x) = 1.6x - 256
dC(x) = 1.6x - 256 = 0
The value of x from the derived equation above is 160.
Thus, the number of machine to be made in order to minimize the cost should be 160.
