Answer: There are 7 parakeets and 3 canaries in each cage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of parakeets = 42

Number of canaries = 18

According to question, he wants to use as few as cages as possible , but can only have one type of bird in each cage.

So, H.C.F. of 42 and 18 = 6

So, Number of cages would be 6.

Number of parakeets would be

\dfrac{42}{6}=7

Number of canaries would be

\dfrac{18}{6}=3

Hence, there are 7 parakeets and 3 canaries in each cage.

When Brooklyn runs the 400 meter dash, her finishing times are normally distributed with a mean of 76 seconds and a standard dev
KonstantinChe [14]

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that her finishing time will be between 70 and 82 seconds in 95% of her races.

<h3>What does the Empirical Rule state?</h3>

It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

  • Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
  • Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of  the mean.
  • Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, the mean is of 76 seconds and the standard deviation is of 3 seconds, then:

76 - 2 x 3 = 70.

76 + 2 x 3 = 82.

Which means that values between 70 and 82 seconds are within 2 standard deviations of the mean, hence the percentage is of 95%.

Sarah sights the top of the statue of liberty at an angle of elevation of 61 if sarah is 5.5 feet tall and is standing 166 feet
vovangra [49]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure below:

 1. You have that:

 - Sarah sights the top of the statue of liberty at an angle of elevation of 61°.

 - She is standing 166 feet from the base of the statue.
<span>
 - Sarah is 5.5 feet tall.

 2. Therefore, the heigth of the statute is:

 Tan(61°)=x/166
 x=(166)(</span>Tan(61°)
 x=299.47 feet

 Height of the statue=299.47 feet+5.5 feet
 Height of the statue=304.97 feet
