Let the third number be n. then the series of numbers is n-2, n-1, n, n+1, n+2, n+3. The sum of these numbers should be 519. Add them together and solve for n:
n-2+n-1+n+n+1+n+2+n+3=519
6n+3=519
6n=516
n=86

So the third number is 86.

Answer:

19.51% probability that none of them voted in the last election

Step-by-step explanation:

For each American, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they voted in the previous national election, or they did not. The probability of an American voting in the previous election is independent of other Americans. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
