The answer is 25 chicks

Reasoning:

This is a simple problem.
Consider you are the only chick that matters, and construct a table to say whether YOU get pecked. Your chance of being pecked comes down to only 4 outcomes. (1) YES - pecked twice. (2) YES - pecked from left wing only. (3) YES - pecked from right wing only. (4) NO - unpecked.
The table has 4 elements, all of equal probability, 1 of which is unpecked. YOU are therefore pecked 3:1 ratio or 3:4 opportunities 75% of the time. For convenience, this needs to be conducted for 100 trials of YOU, and the answer is that 25 times YOU will NOT be pecked. The circular nature of the 100 chicks says that YOU are not unique, and your experience is the same as the others, so we extrapolate your experience of 100 trials to a single trial of 100 chicks just like YOU. 25 unpecked chicks, 50 get pecked once, 25 get double pecks.

This is the same table constructed for 100 women having two children and asking how many have no girls.

Stephen evaluated (6.34 times 10 Superscript negative 7 Baseline) (4.5 times 10 Superscript 3 Baseline). His work is shown below

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The step 4 and 5 describe the errors Stephen made.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Stephen evaluated $(6.34\times 10^{-7})(4.5\times 10^3)$ . His work is shown below.

To find : Which two statements describe the errors Stephen made?

Solution :

Step 1 - $(6.34\times 10^{-7})(4.5\times 10^3)$

Step 2 - $(6.34\times 4.5)(10^{-7}\times 10^3)$

Step 3 - $(28.53)(10^{-4})$

Step 4 - $28.53\times 10^{4}$

Error is the step as 4 sign is negative.

So correct step is $28.53\times 10^{-4}$

Step 5 - $28.53\times 10^{3}$

Error is the step as there is 4 in place of 3.

So correct step is $28.53\times 10^{-4}$

The step 4 and 5 describe the errors Stephen made.

Slope of AB = 1/3 and slope of BC = -3 so these 2 lines are perpendicular
The same is true for all the other adjjacent pairs of lines.
Oppoitse lines are also paralllel ( slope of AB = 1/3 and slope of DC = 1/3) and other pair are both of slope -3.

So Its C
