Answer:there are 16 goats and 22 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of goats in the field.

Let y represent the number if chicken in the field.

After a quick count, you determine there are 38 heads and 108 feet in the field. A goat has one head. A chicken also has one head. It means that

x + y = 38

A goat has four legs. A chicken has 2 legs. It means that

4x + 2y = 108 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 38 - y into equation 1, it becomes

4(38 - y) + 2y = 108

152 - 4y + 2y = 108

- 4y + 2y = 108 - 152

- 2y = - 44

y = - 44/ - 2

y = 22

x = 38 - y = 38 - 22

x = 16

If x is a binomial random variable with n = 20, and p = 0.30, then p(x = 10) = 0.50.
meriva
In the binomial expansion of (0.30+0.70)²⁰ the coefficient is ²⁰C₁₀=184756 for x=10 and we have 0.30¹⁰×0.70¹⁰ for the pq values where q=1-p. This comes to about 0.03. So the statement p(x=10)=0.50 is false, answer b.

Find cos theta if sin theta = 2/3. assume the terminal side of the angel falls in quadrant 2
kow [346]
Well knowing that the terminal arm of the standard position angle is in quadrant 2, we can determine the reference angle, in quadrant 2, by simply taking the difference between 180 and whatever the angle is.

So ø reference = 180 - ø in standard position.

Regardless, the reference angle is in quadrant 2, we need to then label the sides of the reference triangle based on the opposite and hypotenuse.

Solve for adjacent side using Pythagoras theorem.

A^2 = C^2 - B^2
A^2 = 3^2 - 2^2
A^2 = 9 - 4
A^2 =5
A = sq root of 5.

Then write the cos ratio using the new side.

Cos ø =✔️5/3. Place a negative in front of cos ø as cos is negative in second quadrant.
