Three consecutive integers can be represented as followed.

X → first integer

X + 1 → second integer

X + 2 → third integer

Since the sum of our three consecutive integers is 135, we can set up an equation to represent this.

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 135

-Simplify on the left-

3x + 3 = 135

-3 -3

3x = 132

÷3 ÷3 ← divide both sides by 3

X = 44

X + 1 = 45

X + 2 = 46

Therefore, the three consecutive integers are 44, 45, and 46. The smallest integer would be 44.

The middle number is the smallest so I think its 3 ( hope it helped you!)

52.4/2= 26.2
26.2-3= 23.2
So the original number = 23.2

Answer:

Binomial; \mu p=87.5, \sigma p=7.542

Step-by-step explanation:

a distribution is said be a binomial distribution iff

The probability of success of that event( let it be p) is same for every trial
each trial should have 2 outcome : p or (1-p) i.e, success or failure only.
there are fixed number of trials (n)
the trials are independent

here, the trials are obviously independent ( because, one person's debt doesn't influence the other person's)

here n=250

the probability of success(0.35) is same for every trial

(35/100=0.35 is the required p here)

$\mu_{p} =n*p=250*\frac{35}{100} =250*0.35=87.5$

[since, the formula for $\mu _{p} =n*p$ ]

$\sigma _{p} =\sqrt{n*(p)*(1-p)} = \sqrt{250*0.35*(1-0.35)} = 7.542 ( approximately)$

[since, the formula for [tex]\sigma _{p} =\sqrt{n*(p)*(1-p)}

therefore, it is Binomial; \mu p=87.5, \sigma p=7.542
