Answer:

option C 13.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

As the heights of adults is normally distributed with mean=69 and standard deviation=2.5 so, the percent of men that are between 64 and 66.5 inches tall can be calculated as

P(64<X<66.5)=P[ (64-69)/2.5<(X-μ)/σ<(66.5-69)/2.5]

P(64<X<66.5)=P(-2<Z<-1)

P(64<X<66.5)=P(-2<Z<0)-P(-1<Z<0)

P(64<X<66.5)=0.4772-0.3413=0.1359

Thus, the percent of men are between 64 and 66.5 inches tall is 13.59%.

If we round the resultant quantity then it will be rounded to 13.6% but considering the given options, option C is most appropriate.

1.) 5+4/7(21+3x)=41
    5+ 12+12/7x= 41
    12/7x= 41-12-5
     12/7x= 24
     x= 24/ (12/7)
     x=14

2.) x+15.09= -2.57
     x = -2.57-15.09
     x= -17.66
