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.

The cheapest available ticket for Super Bowl Ll on the secondary market costs
drek231 [11]

Answer:

He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using proportions.

Per hour:

Joel earns $7.25 per hour, 20% of which is deducted for taxes. So without taxes, in each hour, he earns 100%-20% of 80% of this, so 0.8*7.25 = $5.8.

Per day:

He works 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, so 8 hours a day.

For each hour, he earns $5.8.

So in a day, he makes 8*5.8 = $46.4

How many days he must work:

The ticket costs $2400.

He makes $46.4 a day.

So, to buy a ticket, he needs to work:

2400/46.4 = 51.7 days

Rounding up

He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.
