Answer:

2 cows and 5 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE: This will be solved using simultaneous equations.

Let x = cows and y = chickens

1. form two equations

4x + 2y = 18 ... (1)

x + y = 7 .... (2)

2. make y (or x) the subject of one equation

x + y = 7

y = 7 - x ... (3)

3. Substitute (3) into (1)

4x + 2( 7 - x) = 18

4. solve for x

4x + 14 - 2x = 18

2x = 4

x = 2

5. Now substitute x value into equation (2)

x + y = 7

2 + y = 7

y = 5

∴ cows (x) = 2

chickens (y) = 5

Alla [95]

Answer:

The percentage is $P(350 < X 650 ) = 86.6\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is $\mu = 500$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 100$

The percent of people who write this exam obtain scores between 350 and 650

$P(350 < X 650 ) = P(\frac{ 350 - 500}{ 100}$

Generally

$\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )$

$P(350 < X 650 ) = P(\frac{ 350 - 500}{ 100}$

$P(350 < X 650 ) = P(-1.5$

$P(350 < X 650 ) = P(Z < 1.5) - P(Z < -1.5)$

From the z-table $P(Z < -1.5 ) = 0.066807$

and $P(Z < 1.5 ) = 0.93319$

=> $P(350 < X 650 ) = 0.93319 - 0.066807$

=> $P(350 < X 650 ) = 0.866$

Therefore the percentage is $P(350 < X 650 ) = 86.6\%$

Answer:

Not Similer

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the process of elimination, first AA isn't it because the corresponding angles arn't equal, next SSS itsn't it because we don't know the side lengths, and lastly SAS isn't it because we still don't know the side lengths.
