Set the number of chickens as x and number of cows as <span>y
</span>so the farmer has total 28 animals
so x+y=28 
you know that since the animals are healthy
chickens will have 2 legs    and
cows will have 4 legs
the total number of legs are 64
so 2x+4y=64
since you want to find the number of cows 
so from the first equation <span>x+y=28
</span>we will get another equation <span>x=28-y
</span>then plug into <span>2x+4y=64
2(28-y)+4y=64
56-2y+4y=64
56+2y=64
-56      -56
2y=8
y=4
</span>

Suppose that you take 1000 simple random samples from a population and that, for each sample, you obtain a 95% confidence interv
Bogdan [553]

Using the interpretation of a confidence interval, it is found that approximately 950 of those confidence intervals will contain the value of the unknown parameter.

A x% confidence interval means that we are x% confident that the population mean is in the interval.

  • Out of a large number of intervals, approximately x% will contain the value of the unknown parameter.

In this problem:

  • 95% confidence interval.
  • 1000 samples.

0.95 x 1000 = 950

Hence, approximately 950 of those confidence intervals will contain the value of the unknown parameter.
