Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to this probability question is .86 or 86%. The probability that a batch of 10,000 batteries will contain at least 175 defective batteries is 86 percent. I calculated the failure rate of 10,000 batteries (10k*.015) and yielded 150, meaning there will be 150 batteries that will be defective in a set of 10,000. Then i divided 150 by 175 to get the probability.
Let us take a number x
The four consecutive numbers will be
x+1, x+2, x+3
Thus our equation will be
x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 = 42
4x + 6 = 42
4x = 36
x= 36/4
x= 9
Thus the four numbers are (substitute)
x=9
x+1=9+1=10
x+2=9+2=11
x+3=9+3=12
9,10,11,12
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
We cannot take the square root of a negative number without using complex numbers. Because of this, both 5x and x+3 must be non-negative in order for the product to be defined.
- 5x ≥ 0 implies that x ≥ 0
- x + 3 ≥ 0 implies that x ≥ -3
Both of these are satisfied if and only if x ≥ 0 (note that if x ≥ 0, then x is automatically greater than or equal to -3). Therefore, the correct answer is x ≥ 0.
