A farmer was asked how many cows and chickens she has. The farmer replied, "between the cows and the chickens, there are 162 eye

s and 270 feet." How many cows does she have? How many chickens does she have? (Note: chickens have 2 feet and cows have 4 feet.)

<h2>☀️ <u>Solution</u><u>:</u></h2>

We all know that,

All animals have 2 eyes.
All cows have 4 feet
All hens have 2 feet

So, Let the no. of cows be x and chickens be y

According to question,

Total number of eyes = 162

Framing equation,

⇛ Eyes of cows + Eyes of chickens = 162

⇛ 2x + 2y = 162

⇛ 2(x + y) = 162

⇛ x + y = 162/2 = 81 -----------(1)

According to question(Cond.-1)

Total number of feet = 270

Framing equation,

⇛ Feet of cows + Feet of chickens = 270

⇛ 4x + 2y = 270

⇛ 2(2x + y) = 270

⇛ 2x + y = 135 ----------(2)

Subtracting eq.(1) from eq.(2),

⇛ 2x + y - (x + y) = 135 - 81

⇛ 2x + y - x - y = 54

⇛ x = 54

Putting value of x in eq.(1),

⇛ 54 + y = 81

⇛ y = 81 - 54

⇛ y = 27

⚘ So, Total number of animals,

Number of cows = x = 54
Number of chickens = y = 27

Hence, solved ! $!$

skad [1K]

She should "Decide how to price her product". Which is response B.

This is because all the other options don't really make sense. You can't advertise something that you don't even know how much it costs. We've also already decided what the company sells. And we can't decide where the product will be sold unless we have made up the price for the product!

Hope this helps!

Suppose that 20% of the adult women in the United States dye or highlight their hair. We would like to know the probability that

Rasek [7]

Answer:

71.08% probability that pˆ takes a value between 0.17 and 0.23.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the binomial approxiation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.2, n = 200$ . So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 200*0.2 = 40$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{200*0.2*0.8} = 5.66$

In other words, find probability that pˆ takes a value between 0.17 and 0.23.

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 200*0.23 = 46 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 200*0.17 = 34. So

X = 46

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{46 - 40}{5.66}$

$Z = 1.06$

$Z = 1.06$ has a pvalue of 0.8554

X = 34

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{34 - 40}{5.66}$

$Z = -1.06$

$Z = -1.06$ has a pvalue of 0.1446

0.8554 - 0.1446 = 0.7108

71.08% probability that pˆ takes a value between 0.17 and 0.23.

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: ∠MHL=(3x+20), ∠KHN=(x+25), and ∠JHN=(x+20).

We need to find the measure of ∠JHN.

$\angle MHL=\angle JHK$ (Vertical opposite angles)

$\angle MHL=\angle JHN+\angle KHN$

Substitute the given values.

$3x+20=(x+20)+(x+25)$

$3x+20=2x+45$

$3x-2x=45-20$

$x=25$

The value of x is 25. So, the measure of ∠JHN is

$\angle JHN=x+20=25+20=45$

The measure of ∠JHN is 45°.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
