    For the random variable x, the z-score is

    z = (x - 11) / 2

    Because 70.54% of the area under the curve lies to the right of x, therefore the area to the left of x is

    100 - 70.54 = 29.46%

    From the standard table, a z-score of - 0.54 will yield an area of 29.46% to the left of x.

    Therefore

    (x - 11) / 2 = - 0.54

    x - 11 = - 0.54*2

    x = 9.92

    Answer: 9.92
