Answer:

This is a trial and error problem

we can divide 30 eyes by 2 eyes on each animals to know that there is 15 animals

15 animals now make a random guess

Find out the difference of feet. 1 dog has 4 feet - 2 chicken feet = 2 feet increase or decrease so if we need to increase by 2 we add 1 dog and if we need to subtract to then we add 1 chicken

11 dogs and 4 chickens

that is 44 feet + 8 feet = 52 feet

52 - 44 feet needed = 8 feet

8 / 2 feet decrease = 4 more chickens needed

11 - 4 (subtracting 4 dogs off)= 7

4 + 4 (replacing the dogs with chickens)= 8

7 dogs and 8 chickens

7 x 4 = 28

8 x 2 = 16

28 + 16 = 44

7 dogs and 8 chickens

Hope this helps

Answer:  8 chickens, 7 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

You can create a system of equations.

Let c represent the number of chickens

and d represent the number of dogs.

Chickens have 2 eyes and 2 legs

     Dogs have 2 eyes and 4 legs

Total eyes is 30 and total legs is 44

  Legs: 2c + 4d = 44

- <u>(Eyes: 2c + 2d = 30)</u>

                    2d = 14

                      d = 7

Substitute d = 7 into either of the equations to solve for c

2c + 2d = 30

2c + 2(7) = 30

2c          = 30 - 14

2c          = 16

          c = 8

Which of the following Chi-Square tests can be used to determine if a data set follows a Normal distribution?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Answer = d. Chi-Square Goodness of Fit

Step-by-step explanation:

A decision maker may need to understand whether an actual sample distribution matches with a known theoretical probability distribution such as Normal distribution and so on. The Goodness-of-fit Test is a type of Chi-Square test that can be used to determine if a data set follows a Normal distribution and how well it fits the distribution. The Chi-Square test for Goodness-of-fit enables us to determine the extent to which theoretical probability distributions coincide with empirical sample distribution. To apply the test, a particular theoretical distribution is first hypothesized for a given population and then the test is carried out to determine whether or not the sample data could have come from the population of interest with hypothesized theoretical distribution. The observed frequencies or values come from the sample and the expected frequencies or values come from the theoretical hypothesized probability distribution. The Goodness-of-fit now focuses on the differences between the observed values and the expected values. Large differences between the two distributions throw doubt on the assumption that the hypothesized theoretical distribution is correct and small differences between the two distributions may be assumed to be resulting from sampling error.
