The Solution:

Using the formula:

Z_{70}=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Where,

\begin{gathered} x=70kg \\ \mu=65kg \\ \sigma=11kg \end{gathered}

Substituting, we get

P(Z>Z_{70})=\frac{70-65}{11}=\frac{5}{11}=0.45455

From the Z score table,

\begin{gathered} P(Z>Z_{70})=0.3242=p \\ 1-P(Z>Z_{70})=1-0.3242=0.6758=q \end{gathered}

By the Binomial expansion formula,

(p+q)^8=+\cdots+^8C_3p^3\cdot q^5+^8C_2p^2\cdot q^6+^8C_1p^1\cdot q^7+^8C_0p^0\cdot q^8

So, the probability that at most three of them weigh at least 70 kg is

\begin{gathered} ^8C_3(0.3242)^3\cdot(0.6758)^5+^8C_2(0.3242)^2\cdot(0.6758)^6+ \\ ^8C_1(0.3242)^1\cdot(0.6758)^7+^8C^{}_0(0.6758)^8 \end{gathered}=0.49562\approx0.4956

Therefore, the correct answer is 0.4956

AB = 2x-5 BC = 6x AC = 27
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

correct answer is x = 2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

AB = 2x-5

BC = 6x

AC = 27

Hence,

=> AC = AB + BC

=> 27 = 2x-5 + 6x

=> 27 = 8x-5

=> 27-5 = 8x

=> 22 = 8x

=> 22/8 = x

=> 11/4 = x

or

2.75 = x
