Answer:

hi there ☺️

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 345. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 345. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 345

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 345

3X + 3 = 345

3X + 3 - 3 = 345 - 3

3X = 342

3X/3 = 342/3

X = 114

Which means that the first number is 114, the second number is 114 + 1 and the third number is 114 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 345 are 114, 115, and 116.

114 + 115 + 116 = 345

We know our answer is correct because 114 + 115 + 116 equals 345 as displayed above.

The mean of this data set is 9. What number is missing? 11,20,_,3,1

kherson [118]

Let the missing number be x

Mean is the total sum of data over the number of data therefore,

(11+20+x+3+1) / 5 = 9
Then simplify
(35 + x) / 5 = 9
Then multiply 5 to both sides
35 + x = 45
Then subtract 35 to both sides to find x
X= 10

Hope this helps!

A company that produces fine crystal knows from experience that 13% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

(a) The probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b) The probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of seconds in the batch.

The probability of the random variable X is, p = 0.31.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

(a)

Compute the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

$P(X=1)={6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=6\times 0.13\times 0.4984\\=0.3888$

Thus, the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

$=1-{6\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{6-0}-{6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=1-0.4336+0.3888\\=0.1776$

Thus, the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c)

If goblets are examined one by one then to find four that are not seconds we need to select either 4 goblets that are not seconds or 5 goblets including only 1 second.

P (4 not seconds) = P (X = 0; n = 4) + P (X = 1; n = 5)

$={4\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{4-0}+{5\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{5-1}\\=0.5729+0.3724\\=0.9453$

Thus, the probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.
