Answer:

The three numbers are 341, 342, and 343

Step-by-step explanation:

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 1026. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 1026

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 = 1026

3X + 3 = 1026

3X + 3 - 3 = 1026 - 3

3X = 1023

3X/3 = 1023/3

X = 341

Which means that the first number is 341, the second number is 341 + 1 and the third number is 341 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 1026 are 341, 342, and 343.

341 + 342 + 343 = 1026

We know our answer is correct because 341 + 342 + 343 equals 1026 as displayed above.

Step-by-step explanation:

3cm on map = 45 km

1 cm on map = Xkm

Xkm = 45 / 3

Xkm = 15km

If h(x) = x – 7 and g(x) = x2, which expression is equivalent to (G ▪ H) (5)? (5 – 7)2 (5)2 – 7 (5)2(5 – 7) (5 – 7)x2

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The correct answer is (5 - 7)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, start with the outermost equation g(x).

g(x) = x^2

Now put the next equation (h(x)) in for x in this equation.

(G ▪ H)(x) = (x - 7)^2

Now, put the number in for x in the equation given.

(G ▪ H)(x) = (5 - 7)^2

15. Suppose a box of 30 light bulbs contains 4 defective ones. If 5 bulbs are to be removed out of the box.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

1) Probability that all five are good = 0.46

2) P(at most 2 defective) = 0.99

3) Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.54

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of bulbs = 30

Number of defective bulbs = 4

Number of good bulbs = 30 - 4 = 26

Number of ways of selecting 5 bulbs from 30 bulbs = $30C5 = \frac{30 !}{(30-5)!5!} \\$

$30C5 = 142506$ ways

Number of ways of selecting 5 good bulbs from 26 bulbs = $26C5 = \frac{26 !}{(26-5)!5!} \\$

$26C5 = 65780$ ways

Probability that all five are good = 65780/142506

Probability that all five are good = 0.46

2) probability that at most two bulbs are defective = Pr(no defective) + Pr(1 defective) + Pr(2 defective)

Pr(no defective) has been calculated above = 0.46

Pr(1 defective) = $\frac{26C4 * 4C1}{30C5}$

Pr(1 defective) = (14950*4)/142506

Pr(1 defective) =0.42

Pr(2 defective) = $\frac{26C3 * 4C2}{30C5}$

Pr(2 defective) = (2600 *6)/142506

Pr(2 defective) = 0.11

P(at most 2 defective) = 0.46 + 0.42 + 0.11

P(at most 2 defective) = 0.99

3) Probability that at least one bulb is defective = Pr(1 defective) + Pr(2 defective) + Pr(3 defective) + Pr(4 defective)

Pr(1 defective) =0.42

Pr(2 defective) = 0.11

Pr(3 defective) = $\frac{26C2 * 4C3}{30C5}$

Pr(3 defective) = 0.009

Pr(4 defective) = $\frac{26C1 * 4C4}{30C5}$

Pr(4 defective) = 0.00018

Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.42 + 0.11 + 0.009 + 0.00018

Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.54
