Define x :
-----------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
The other two numbers will be x + 1 and x + 2.
-----------------------------------------
Construct Equation :
-----------------------------------------
Sum of these numbers is 72
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
-----------------------------------------
Solve for x :
-----------------------------------------
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
3x + 3 = 72
3x = 69
x = 23
-----------------------------------------
Find the numbers :
-----------------------------------------
1st number = x = 23
2nd number = x + 1 = 23 + 1 = 24
3rd number = x + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer : The numbers are 23, 24 and 25.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remark
The trick to this question is realizing what you took 1/3 of. Did you take it of the 150000 or is it 1/3 of some total you have to find. I don't think you could come up with a third choice.
It turns out that the answer is 1/3 of a number you don't know.
Equation
(1/3) x = 150000 Multiply both sides by 3
3*(1/3) x = 150000 * 3
x = 150000 * 3
x = 450000
Conclusion
The amount the company makes is 450000 dollars / year.
The probability that the mean clock life would differ from the population mean by greater than 12.5 years is 98.30%.
Given mean of 14 years, variance of 25 and sample size is 50.
We have to calculate the probability that the mean clock life would differ from the population mean by greater than 1.5 years.
μ=14,
σ=
=5
n=50
s orσ =5/
=0.7071.
This is 1 subtracted by the p value of z when X=12.5.
So,
z=X-μ/σ
=12.5-14/0.7071
=-2.12
P value=0.0170
1-0.0170=0.9830
=98.30%
Hence the probability that the mean clock life would differ from the population mean by greater than 1.5 years is 98.30%.

There is a mistake in question and correct question is as under:
What is the probability that the mean clock life would differ from the population mean by greater than 12.5 years?
Answer:
From smallest to greatest: -6, -3, 0, 1, 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The negative numbers will be on the left side of 0, and the positive numbers will be on the right side of 0.
