The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's analyze the information given and find the common probable weights for X. ### Step 1: Analyze X's Opinion X believes that his weight is: - Greater than 60 kg - Less than 68 kg This can be expressed as: \[ 60 < X < 68 \] ### Step 2: Determine Possible Values from X's Opinion The integer values that satisfy this inequality are: - 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67 ### Step 3: Analyze Y's Opinion Y disagrees and states that X's weight is: - Greater than 62 kg - Less than 70 kg This can be expressed as: \[ 62 < X < 70 \] ### Step 4: Determine Possible Values from Y's Opinion The integer values that satisfy this inequality are: - 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69 ### Step 5: Analyze X's Mother's Opinion X's mother believes that X's weight is: - Greater than 64 kg This can be expressed as: \[ X > 64 \] ### Step 6: Determine Possible Values from X's Mother's Opinion The integer values that satisfy this inequality are: - 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, ... ### Step 7: Find Common Values Now, we need to find the common integer values that satisfy all three opinions: 1. From X: 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67 2. From Y: 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69 3. From X's Mother: 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, ... The common values from all three sets are: - 65, 66, 67 ### Step 8: Calculate the Average To find the average of the common probable weights: 1. Sum the values: \( 65 + 66 + 67 = 198 \) 2. Count the number of values: There are 3 values (65, 66, 67). 3. Calculate the average: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{Number of values}} = \frac{198}{3} = 66 \] ### Conclusion The average of the different probable weights of X is **66 kg**. ---
