Sheep (s) = pigs (p) +150
s=p+150
s=6p
6p=p+150
5p=150
p=30

there are 30 pigs
30/2=15
15*3=45

there are 45 cows

here's is a little bit so you know this is correct
30x6=180
180-30=150
there is a 150 difference between sheep and pigs.

Hope this helps :)

Information Given: She has 12 groups of sheep, 3 groups of cows and 2 groups of pigs. Question asks: There are 150 more sheep than pigs. How many cows has she got?
They figured 150 more sheep than pigs from 2 pigs X 75 sheep=150 lambs of 12 groups of sheep.
150 lambs/3 groups of cows=50 cows.
She has 50 cows from 3 groups of cows.

A rectangular flower garden in Samantha's backyard has 220 feet around its edge. The width of the garden is 50 feet. What is the

Ede4ka [16]

Answer: 60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The perimeter of the garden is $220\ ft$

The width of the garden is $50\ ft$

Suppose the length of the garden is $x$

Perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the sides

$\Rightarrow 220=2(x+50)\\\Rightarrow 110=x+50\\\Rightarrow x=60\ ft$

So, the length of the garden is $60\ ft$

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

52%

Step-by-step explanation:

62/120 * 100%

Divide by 2 on top and bottom

31/60 * 100 %

.5166666666 * 100 %

51.66666666 %

To the nearest whole number

Rounding the 1, we look at the 6 6>=5 so we round the 1 to 2

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
