Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can break down this problem by first realizing different parts of the circle.
- The line which is 8 units long is a chord of the circle.
- The line that is 3.6 is <em>almost</em> the radius of the circle
- The line that x sits on is the radius.
With this, we can find out if we find the radius of the circle, we have our answer.
We should also note that the angle formed by the 3.6 units long line and the chord is a right angle.
<em>What we need is a way to find the radius of the circle</em><em>. This will get us x</em>. The radius of a circle will be the length of any line that starts from point O and ends at the circle edge.
If we draw a line connecting the end of the 3.6 line at point O to the end of the 8 unit long chord, we get a triangle! (Image attached for reference).
We can solve for the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem. This theorem states that:
Since we know one side is 3.6, we can use that as A. The second side will be 4 since the 3.6 line lies directly in the center of the chord = 8/2 = 4!
Therefore, since this is the radius of the circle (also the hypotenuse), this can be said for any line that comes from point O onto the edge of the circle.
The line X does just that. Therefore, the value of x is also 5.4.
Hope this helped!

Step-by-step explanation:
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".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the retirement savings of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
We are interested on this probability
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
