answer is 7 pigs and 4 chicks

pigs' legs =     7 x 4 = 28

chicks' legs =  4 x 2 = 8

28 + 8 = 36 legs

c = amount of chickens

p = amount of pigs


now, let's recall that chicken have two legs, and pigs have four legs, whatever "c" is, the amount of legs for all chicken is 2*c, or 2c.

the amount of legs for pigs is 4*p or 4p.

we know there are 36 legs total, therefore 2c + 4p = 36.

we also know that there are 11 heads, since each only has one head, then c + p = 11.


\bf \begin{cases}
2c+4p=36\\
c+p=11\implies \boxed{p}=11-c
\end{cases}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{using \boxed{p} in the first equation}}{2c+4\left( \boxed{11-c} \right)=36}
\\\\\\
2c+44-4c=36\implies -2c=-8\implies c=\cfrac{-8}{-2}\implies \blacktriangleright c=4 \blacktriangleleft
\\\\\\
\stackrel{p=11-c}{p=11-4}\implies \blacktriangleright p=7 \blacktriangleleft

Statistics question about random probability Cheese pastureized or Raw MilkA cheese can be classified as either raw-milk or past
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

(a) Two cheeses are chosen at random. the probability that both cheeses are pasteurized is Pr(PP) = 0.82 x 0.82 = 0.6724 to 4 decimal places)

(b) Four cheeses are chosen at random. The probability that all four cheeses are pasteurized is Pr(PPPP) = 0.82 x 0.82 x 0.82 x 0.82 = 0.4521 to 4 decimal places

(c) What is the probability that at least one of four randomly selected cheeses is raw-milk is Pr(RPPP) Or Pr(RRPP) Or Pr(RRRP) Or Pr(RRRR)

= 0.1269 to 4 decimal places

It would not be unusual that at least one of four randomly selected cheeses is raw-milk, because the probability have a value between 0 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If is given that 80% of the cheese is classified as pasteurized.

It then implies that 20% of the cheese is classified as Raw-milk

Probability of pasteurized cheese is 0.82(Denoted by Pr(P))

Probability of raw-milk cheese is 0.18(Denoted as Pr(R))

(a) Two cheeses are chosen at random. the probability that both cheeses are pasteurized is Pr(PP) = 0.82 x 0.82 = 0.6724 to 4 decimal places)

(b) Four cheeses are chosen at random. The probability that all four cheeses are pasteurized is Pr(PPPP) = 0.82 x 0.82 x 0.82 x 0.82 = 0.4521 to 4 decimal places

(c) What is the probability that at least one of four randomly selected cheeses is raw-milk is Pr(RPPP) + Pr(RRPP) + Pr(RRRP) + Pr(RRRR)

(0.18 x 0.82 x 0.82 x 0.82) + (0.18 x 0.18 x 0.82 x 0.82) + (0.18 x 0.18 x 0.18 x 0.82) + (0.18 x 0.18 x 0.18 x 0.18) = 0.1269 to 4 decimal places
