Let's assume
number of birds with 2 wings is x
number of birds with 4 wings is y
A nature museum has 2008 specimens of early birds
so,
Total of wings of 2 wings bird =2x
Total of wings of 4 wings bird =4y
The specimens have a total of 4384 wings
so, we get
we can divide both sides by 2
so, we get system of equations as
we can solve for x and y
We can subtract both equations
so,
number of birds with 2 wings is 1824
number of birds with 4 wings is 184.............Answer
Answer:
Probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time =
Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time =
Combined probability =
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:
It is given that first time a Cherry coke is chosen and it is not replaced.
So, number of cherry coke left = 2
Dr. Pepper is chosen twice and is not replaced, so
Number of Dr. Pepper left = 3 - 2 = 1
Total number of soda left = 10 - 3 = 7
So, probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time =
Now, total number of soda left = 7 - 1 = 6
Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time =
The combined probability = probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time multiplied with Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time
