X+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8 < 100
5x + 20 < 100
5x < 80
x < 16

so the 5 numbers are 14,16,18,20,22 and maximum sum = 90

100/5 = 20

would be the middle number so 18 +19+20+21+22 = 100

since you want it to be less than 100 use 17 instead of 22

so you have 17 +18+19+20+21 = 95

95 is the maximum sum

Answer:

The unusual $X$ values for this model are: $X = 0, 1, 2, 7, 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

A binomial random variable $X$ represents the number of successes obtained in a repetition of $n$ Bernoulli-type trials with probability of success $p$ . In this particular case, $n = 8$ , and $p = 0.53$ , therefore, the model is ${8 \choose x} (0.53) ^ {x} (0.47)^{(8-x)}$ . So, you have:
