Answer:

  • 14 oxen
  • 8 ducks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of oxen. Then the number of ducks is 22-x and the number of legs is ...

  4x +2(22 -x) = 72

  2x +44 = 72 . . . . . . . simplify

  x +22 = 36 . . . . . . divide by 2

  x = 14 . . . . . . . . . subtract 22; the number of oxen

  22-x = 8 . . . . . the number of ducks

There are 8 ducks and 14 oxen in the barn.

A group of people were asked which of three ice cream flavors they prefer. The results are shown in the table.
olchik [2.2K]

Using it's concept, it is found that the probability of a person being over 20 years old and preferring strawberry ice cream is of 12%.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.</u>

In this problem, there are 8 + 10 + 6 + 8 + 6 + 12 = 50 people, and of those, 6 are over 20 years old and prefer strawberry ice cream, hence the probability is given by:

p = 6/50 = 0.12 = 12%.
