Answer: The number of gold medals are 6,7, and 8 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first three consecutive integers are

x, x+1, x+2

Sum = 21

According to question, we get that

x+x+1+x+2=21\\\\3x+3=21\\\\3x=21-3\\\\3x=18\\\\x=\dfrac{18}{3}\\\\x=6

Hence, the number of gold medals won by Korea = 6

Number of gold medals won by France = 7

Number of gold medals won by Italy = 8

Hence, the number of gold medals are 6,7, and 8 respectively.

The answer would be:

Korea: 6

Italy: 7

France: 8

6, 7, 8 are consecutive numbers because they go in the order that you would count from 1-x(an infinite number) with.

I hope this helped! If you have further questions don't be afraid to ask!

g A sample of 3 items is chosen at random from a box containing 20 items, out of which 4 are defective. Let X be the number of d
professor190 [17]

Answer:

The variance and standard deviation of <em>X</em> are 0.48 and 0.693 respectively.

The variance and standard deviation of (20 - <em>X</em>) are 0.48 and 0.693 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable <em>X</em> is defined as, <em>X</em> = number of defective items in the sample.

In a sample of 20 items there are 4 defective items.

The probability of selecting a defective item is:

P (X)=\frac{4}{20}=0.20

A random sample of <em>n</em> = 3 items are selected at random.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 3 and <em>p </em>= 0.20.

The variance of a Binomial distribution is:

V(X)=np(1-p)

Compute the variance of <em>X</em> as follows:

V(X)=np(1-p)=3\times0.20\times(1-0.20)=0.48

Compute the standard deviation (σ (X)) as follows:

\sigma (X)=\sqrt{V(X)}=\sqrt{0.48}=0.693

Thus, the variance and standard deviation of <em>X</em> are 0.48 and 0.693 respectively.

Now compute the variance of (20 - X) as follows:

V(20-X)=V(20)+V(X)-2Cov(20,X)=0+0.48-0=0.48

Compute the standard deviation of (20 - X) as follows:

\sigma (20-X)=\sqrt{V(20-X)} =\sqrt{0.48}0.693

Thus, the variance and standard deviation of (20 - <em>X</em>) are 0.48 and 0.693 respectively.
