Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose,

the first number = x

the second number = x+1

the third number = x+1+1 = x+2

Question wise,

x+x+1+x+2 = 72

3x+3 = 72

3x = 72-3 = 69

x = 69/3 = 23

so the numbers are,

23,(23+1)=24 and (23+2)=25

A production facility employs 10 workers on the day shift, 8 workers on the swing shift, and 6 workers on the graveyard shift. A

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The probability that all 4 selected workers will be from the day shift is, = 0.0198

The probability that all 4 selected workers will be from the same shift is = 0.0278

The probability that at least two different shifts will be represented among the selected workers is = 0.9722

The probability that at least one of the shifts will be unrepresented in the sample of workers is P(A∪B∪C) = 0.5256

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A production facility employs 10 workers on the day shift, 8 workers on the swing shift, and 6 workers on the graveyard shift. A quality control consultant is to select 4 of these workers for in-depth interviews:

The number of selections result in all 4 workers coming from the day shift is :

$(^n _r) = (^{10} _4)$

$=\dfrac{(10!)}{4!(10-4)!}$

= 210

The probability that all 5 selected workers will be from the day shift is,

$\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {{\rm{all \ 4 \ selected \ workers\ will \ be \ from \ the \ day \ shift}}} \right) = \frac{{\left( \begin{array}{l}\\10\\\\4\\\end{array} \right)}}{{\left( \begin{array}{l}\\24\\\\4\\\end{array} \right)}}\\\\ = \frac{{210}}{{10626}}\\\\ = 0.0198\\\end{array}$

(b) The probability that all 4 selected workers will be from the same shift is calculated as follows:

P( all 4 selected workers will be) $= \dfrac{ (^{10}_4) }{(^{24}_4)}+\dfrac{ (^{8}_4) }{(^{24}_4)} + \dfrac{ (^{6}_4) }{(^{24}_4)}$

where;

$(^{8}_4) } = \dfrac{8!}{4!(8-4)!} = 70$

$(^{6}_4) } = \dfrac{6!}{4!(6-4)!} = 15$

∴ P( all 4 selected workers is ) $=\dfrac{210+70+15}{10626}$

The probability that all 4 selected workers will be from the same shift is = 0.0278

P ( at least two different shifts will be represented among the selected workers) $= 1-\dfrac{ (^{10}_4) }{(^{24}_4)}+\dfrac{ (^{8}_4) }{(^{24}_4)} + \dfrac{ (^{6}_4) }{(^{24}_4)}$

$=1 - \dfrac{210+70+15}{10626}$

= 1 - 0.0278

The probability that at least two different shifts will be represented among the selected workers is = 0.9722

(d)What is the probability that at least one of the shifts will be unrepresented in the sample of workers?

The probability that at least one of the shifts will be unrepresented in the sample of workers is:

$P(AUBUC) = \dfrac{(^{6+8}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}+ \dfrac{(^{10+6}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}+ \dfrac{(^{10+8}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}- \dfrac{(^{6}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}-\dfrac{(^{8}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}-\dfrac{(^{10}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}+0$

$P(AUBUC) = \dfrac{(^{14}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}+ \dfrac{(^{16}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}+ \dfrac{(^{18}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}- \dfrac{(^{6}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}-\dfrac{(^{8}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}-\dfrac{(^{10}_4)}{(^{24}_4)}+0$

$P(AUBUC) = \dfrac{1001}{10626}+ \dfrac{1820}{10626}+ \dfrac{3060}{10626}-\dfrac{15}{10626}-\dfrac{70}{10626}-\dfrac{210}{10626} +0$

The probability that at least one of the shifts will be unrepresented in the sample of workers is P(A∪B∪C) = 0.5256

Fill in the blank. A(n) _______ distribution has a "bell" shape. A(n) ▼ outlier polygon normal relative frequency distributio

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Normal Distribution

Step-by-step explanation: A normal distribution will generally have a bell shape. It is also called a bell curve, due to its bell shape.

It is also called Gaussian distribution. The point near the peak is where most of the observations cluster, while the values further away from the mean will be distributed equally in both directions on the curve.
