Hi. In order to solve this word problem, you must make two equations and solve them together. To make it easy, we will let the letter "p" represent the pigs and the letter "c" for the chickens. So our first equation will be:

p + c = 13

Now to count the legs - we know that pigs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 so our next equation will be:

2c + 4p = 40

Using the first equation we see that c = 13 - p Now we insert this into the second equation and solve:

2x(13-p) +4 pm = 40
26 - 2p + 4p = 40
2p = 14
p = 7 (there are 7 pigs so now we know there are 6 chickens.

Answer: 7 pigs and 6 chickens

I hope this helps.

Take care,
Diana

N experiment was conducted to test the effect of a new stain remover. Twenty stains were treated with stain remover A and stain
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

For this case the statistic calculated is t= 1.37

p_v =0.17

So the p value is a very high value and using the significance level  given\alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and there is enough evidence to conclude that we have a difference between the two means at 10% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

\bar X_{A} represent the mean for the sample for A

\bar X_{B} represent the mean for the sample B

s_{A} represent the sample standard deviation for the sample A

s_{B}= represent the sample standard deviation for the sample B

n_{A}=20 sample size for the group poisoned

n_{B}=20 sample size for the group unpoisoned

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the two means are equal or not , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{A} - \mu_{B} =0

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{A} - \mu_{B} \neq 0

For this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X_{A}-\bar X_{B}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{A}}{n_{A}}+\frac{s^2_{B}}{n_{B}}}} (1)

t-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

Calculate the statistic

For this case the statistic calculated is t= 1.37

Statistical decision

The significance level is 0.1 \alpha=0.1, but we can calculate the p value for this test. The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n_{A}+n_{B}-2

The p value on this case is given

p_v =0.17

So the p value is a very high value and using the significance level  given\alpha=0,1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and there is enough evidence to conclude that we have a difference between the two means at 10% of significance.

Devin is correct because you can draw parallelograms that aren't trapezoid, such as rectangles or squares

Adam saved 35% of the of the 400 dollar he needs to save to buy a bike. How much money has Adam saved so far?
ipn [44]
First write the relationship in words: "What number is 35% of 400?" 

Then write an equation to represent this relationship: x = 35\% \times 400 or, written another way x = 0.35\times400

And then solve:
x=0.35\times400=140

Then answer the question: "Adam has saved $140."
