Let`s assume that points M, N and P are the touching points of those 3 circles:Then:Y M + M Z = 14,Z N + N X = 20X P + P Y = 18And also: M Z = ZN, Y M = P Y and N X = X P.Now we have a system of 3 equations ( Y M, M Z and X P are the radii of each circle ):Y M + M Z = 14M Z + X P = 20X P + Y M = 18 Y M - M Z = - 14+X P + Y M = 18 X P - M Z = 4Y M - M Z = - 14+M Z + X P = 20 X P - Y M = 6 /* ( - 1 )X P - M Z = 4 X P + Y M = - 6 X P - M Z = 4 Y M - M Z = - 2 Y M + M Z = 14 2 Y M = 12 => Y M = 6M Z - 6 = 2 => M Z = 8X P + 6 = 18
X P = 12
Radii of the circles are: 12, 8 and 6.

Answer:

1. $P(X>69)=P(Z>-1.136)=1-P(Z$

2. $P(X$

3. $P(52.6 \leq X \leq 105.4)=P(-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the value for the mean 79 and the deviation 8.8

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

2) Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of collagen of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(79,8.8)$
