To determine the probability that both people chosen are females, we will use the rule of multiplication. 
Let event A = the event that the first person chosen is female; and let B = the event that the second person is female. 
To start, it is given that there are 10 students, 5 of them are females.  Therefore, P(A) = 5/10
After the first selection, there are 9 students, 4 of them are females. Therefore, P(A|B) = 4/9
Based on the rule of multiplication:

P(A∩B) = P(A) * P(A|B)
P(A∩B) = (5/10) (4/9)
P(A∩B) = 20/90
P(A∩B) = 2/9

The probability that both people chosen are females is 2/9.

A farmer owns pigs, chickens, and ducks. When all her animals are together, she has 30 feathered animals, and the animals all to
tatiyna

To solve this problem, let us first assign some variables. Let us say that:

x = pigs

y = chickens

z = ducks

 

From the problem statement, we can formulate the following equations:

1. y + z = 30                                         ---> only chicken and ducks have feathers

2. 4 x + 2 y + 2 z = 120                      ---> pig has 4 feet, while chicken and duck has 2 each

3. 2 x + 2 y + 2 z = 90                        ---> each animal has 2 eyes only

 

Rewriting equation 1 in terms of y:

y = 30 – z

Plugging this in equation 2:

4 x + 2 (30 – z) + 2 z = 120

4 x + 60 – 2z + 2z = 120

4 x = 120 – 60

4 x = 60

x = 15

 

From the given choices, only one choice has 15 pigs. Therefore the answers are:

She has 15 pigs, 12 chickens, and 18 ducks.
