If we take the number of Zebras to be x and that of peacocks to be y
Then x + y = 14
A zebra has 4 legs while a peacock has 2 legs, 
Therefore the total number of legs will be 4x + 2y  which is equal to 36 .
Therefore, we have two equations 
    x + y = 14
   4x + 2y = 36    solving them simultaneously using elimination
   
4x +2y = 36
2x + 2y = 28 ( multiplying the first equation by 2 to eliminate y)
     2x = 8 ( subtracting the equations)
        x = 4  
       y = 14 -(4) 
          = 10
Therefore, there are 4 zebras and 10 peacocks in the zoo

What measurement is a perfect square
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The area of a rectangle with length of 5 and width of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is a perfect square (or a square number) if its square root is an integer; that is to say, it is the product of an integer with itself.

area = lxw

A=5x5 (5 times itself)

A=25

therefore it is a perfect square

How do you solve that?
Aleks [24]
Put it in the form 

ax^2 + bx + c = 0 

use the quadratic formula

x =  [ -b + sqrt( b^2 - 4 ac )  ] / 2a


x =  [ -b - sqrt( b^2 - 4 ac )  ] / 2a

7v^2 - 7v - 22 = 0

a = 7 
b = -7
c = -22

v = [  7 + sqrt ( 49 - 4 * 7 ( -22) ] / 2 * 7  = 2.34

v = [  7 - sqrt ( 49 - 4 * 7 ( -22) ] / 2 * 7  = -1.34

What is statistical power and how would you calculate it?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The statistical power of a hypothesis test is the probability of detecting an effect, if there is a true effect present to detect. Power can be calculated and reported for a completed experiment to comment on the confidence one might have in the conclusions drawn from the results of the study.

I hope it's helpful!
