n, n + 1, n + 2, n + 3 - four consecutive integers

-142 - the sum

The equation:

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) = -142

n + n + 1 + n + 2 + n + 3 = -142

4n + 6 = -142 |subtract 6 from both sides

4n = -148 |divide both sides by 4

n = -37

n + 1 = -37 + 1 = -36

n + 2 = -37 + 2 = -35

n + 3 = -37 + 3 = -34

Answer: -37, -36, -35, -34.

Which ordered pair below is a solution to the following system of equations?

KatRina [158]

The solution of the equation is given by (-2,-1), This is represented by option C.

<h3>What is a System of Equations?</h3>

A system of equations is a set of equation that have a common solution.

The solution of the equations can be determined by using the Elimination and Substitution method

3x-5y = -1

2x-y = -3

-7x = 14

x = -2

Substituting this value in the equation

3 * (-2) -5y = -1

-6 -5y = -1

-5y = 5

y = -1

Therefore, the solution of the equation is given by (-2,-1), This is represented by option C.

A shipment of 50 precision parts including 4 that are defective is sent to an assembly plant. The quality control division selec

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

0.3968 = 39.68% probability this shipment passes inspection.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parts are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

50 parts means that $N = 50$

4 defective means that $k = 4$

10 are chosen, which means that $n = 10$

What is the probability this shipment passes inspection?

Probability that none is defective, so:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 0) = h(0,50,10,4) = \frac{C_{4,0}*C_{46,10}}{C_{50,10}} = 0.3968$

0.3968 = 39.68% probability this shipment passes inspection.

Linda read 1/5 of a book on Friday and 2/7 of the book on Saturday. On Sunday she read 5/9 of the remaining pages. What fraction

insens350 [35]

Here, you just want to solve it by finding a common denominator.
1/5+2/7, because she read 1/5 and 2/7 of the book on separate days. The common denominator is 35.
7/35+10/35
=17/35
So that's how much of the book she read before Saturday.
Now it says that on Sunday she read 5/9 of the remaining pages, meaning:
1-17/35 should give us our answer
35/35-17/35=18/35
But since it says she read 5/9 of the remaining pages, we need to multiply 18/35 by 5/9 to get what 5/9ths of 18/35 is.
(18/35)(5/9)=2/7
Therefore she read 2/7ths of the book on Sunday.
