The rule is: segments on one side of the angle bisector are proportional to the corresponding segments on the other side.

(4x -5)/6 = (2x)/8
You can solve as is, or you can clear fractions first. Here is the "as is" solution.
.. x(2/3 -1/4) = 5/6 . . . . . . . add 5/6 -x/4
.. x = (5/6)/(5/12) = 2 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

Selection A is appropriate.

Answer:

$\mathbf{P(X=5) =0.0888}$

P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.9707

P ( x ≥ 6) = 0.0293

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a binomial mass distribution can be expressed with the formula:

$\mathtt{P(X=x) =(^{n}_{x} ) \ \pi^x \ (1-\pi)^{n-x}}$

$\mathtt{P(X=x) =(\dfrac{n!}{x!(n-x)!} ) \ \pi^x \ (1-\pi)^{n-x}}$

where;

n = 8 and π = 0.36

For x = 5

The probability $\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8!}{5!(8-5)!} ) \ 0.36^5 \ (1-0.36)^{8-5}}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8!}{5!(3)!} ) \ 0.36^5 \ (0.64)^{3}}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5!}{5!(3)!} ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8 \times 7 \times 6 }{3 \times 2 \times 1} ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =({8 \times 7 } ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =0.0887645}$

$\mathbf{P(X=5) =0.0888}$ to 4 decimal places

b. x ≤ 5

The probability of P ( x ≤ 5) $\mathtt{P(x \leq 5) = P(x = 0)+ P(x = 1)+ P(x = 2)+ P(x = 3)+ P(x = 4)+ P(x = 5})$

${P(x \leq 5) = ( \dfrac{8!}{0!(8!)} \times (0.36)^0 \times (1-0.36)^8 \ ) + \dfrac{8!}{1!(7!)} \times (0.36)^1 \times (1-0.36)^7 \ +$ $\dfrac{8!}{2!(6!)} \times (0.36)^2 \times (1-0.36)^6 \ + \dfrac{8!}{3!(5!)} \times (0.36)^3 \times (1-0.36)^5 + \dfrac{8!}{4!(4!)} \times (0.36)^4 \times (1-0.36)^4 \ + \dfrac{8!}{5!(3!)} \times (0.36)^5 \times (1-0.36)^3 \ )$
