Answer:

No solution for x, when k = 1
x = 68/(k - 1), when k≠ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

kx – 17 = 51 + x, where k = 1,

Solve for x:

1*x - 17 = 51 + x
x - 17 = x + 51
x - x = 51 + 17
0 = 68,

Incorrect equation, no solution for x when k=1

Solving for x when k ≠ 1

kx - 17 = 51 + x
kx - x = 51 + 17
x(k - 1) = 68
x = 68/(k - 1)

Answer:

$P(X$

And we can use the following excel code to find the answer: "=NORM.DIST(-0.704,0,1,TRUE)"

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 of interest for a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(5.43,0.54)$
