Answer:

4 goats

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

Number of quails = x

Number of goats = y

Quails have 2 legs

Goats have 4 legs

Hence:

There are 6 animals in the pen some are quails and some are goats

x + y = 6...... Equation 1

x = 6 - y

if there are 20 legs in all how many quails

2x + 4y = 20..... Equation 2

We substitute 6 - y for x in Equation 2

2(6 - y) + 4y = 20

12 - 2y + 4y = 20

Collect like terms

- 2y + 4y = 20 - 12

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4 goats

The number of goats there are 4 goats

How do you find the square root of 2809
Hunter-Best [27]
If this is greater than the first part of the number called by the spectator (i.e., ignoring the last two digits), then the last digit of your answer is the lower of the two possible values. Otherwise the last digit is the higher value. For example if the number called is 2809, the square root could be either 53 or 57.

Suppose that a sample of size 100 is to be drawn from a population with standard deviation L0. a. What is the probability that t
NARA [144]

Answer:

The probability that the sample mean will lie within 2 values of μ is 0.9544.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here

  • the sample size is given as 100
  • the standard deviation is 10

The probability that the sample mean lies with 2 of the value of μ is given as

                                            P(| \bar{X}-\mu|

Here converting the values in z form gives

P(-2

Substituting values

P(-2

From z table

P(z\leq 2)=0.9772\\P(z\leq -2)=0.0228\\P(-2\leq z\leq 2)=P(z\leq 2)-P(z\leq -2)\\P(-2\leq z\leq 2)=0.9772-0.0228\\P(-2\leq z\leq 2)=0.9544\\

So the probability that the sample mean  will lie within 2 values of μ is 0.9544.
