A farmer was asked how many cows and chickens she has. The farmer replied, "between the cows and the chickens, there are 162 eye

s and 270 feet." How many cows does she have? How many chickens does she have? (Note: chickens have 2 feet and cows have 4 feet.)

The known facts are: every animal possesses 2 eyes. Each cow has 4 legs, and every hen has 2 legs. Let's denote the number of cows as x and the number of chickens as y. According to the question, the total number of eyes is 162. Therefore, the equation can be framed as 2x + 2y = 162, simplifying to x + y = 81 (1). Additionally, the total number of legs is 270, leading to the equation 4x + 2y = 270, simplifying to 2x + y = 135 (2). By subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get x = 54. Substituting the value of x into equation (1) gives 54 + y = 81, leading to y = 27. Thus, to sum it up, total number of animals: cows = 54, chickens = 27.

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}    

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}  

b) z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}   (1)  

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{688+671}{989+1012}=0.679  

c) z=\frac{0.696-0.663}{\sqrt{0.679(1-0.679)(\frac{1}{989}+\frac{1}{1012})}}=1.58    

d) In this scenario, we notice that \hat p_1 > \hat p_2 thus the conclusion for this case would indicate

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

X_{1}=688 denote the number of men possessing smartphones  

X_{2}=671 signify the number of women possessing smartphones

n_{1}=989 group of men sampled

n_{2}=1012 group of women sampled

p_{1}=\frac{688}{989}=0.696 symbolize the proportion of men with smartphones

p_{2}=\frac{671}{1012}=0.663 symbolize the proportion of women with smartphones

\hat p denote the pooled estimate of p

z would denote the test statistic

p_v signify the value

Part a

The objective is to evaluate if there is a disparity in smartphone ownership between men and women; the hypothesis statements would be:  

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}    

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}    

Part b

The statistic relevant to this case is expressed as:

z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}   (1)  

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{688+671}{989+1012}=0.679  

Part c

By substituting the provided information, we find:

z=\frac{0.696-0.663}{\sqrt{0.679(1-0.679)(\frac{1}{989}+\frac{1}{1012})}}=1.58    

Part d

In this instance, it is evident that \hat p_1 > \hat p_2 thus the conclusion for this case would seem

Two airplanes are flying to the same airport. Their positions are shown in the graph. Write a system of linear equations that re
zzz [12365]
To formulate the system, it's necessary to consider the slope of each line along with at least one point from each line. The two lines will connect each plane's location to their destination airport. It's important to note that the airport's coordinates represent the intersection of these two lines, corresponding to the solution of the system. First, the slope of the line from airplane one to the airport is: m = 2; this can be observed by plotting the two points. From airplane 1's location, the rise is 8 units while the run is 4 units to reach the airport, making the slope 8 divided by 4 = 2. We then insert the slope and point (2,4) into the point-slope form: y - 4 = 2(x - 4), which can be rearranged to standard form 2x - y = 0. For airplane two, the slope to the airport is obtained by observing the vertical decrease of 3 and a horizontal increase of 9 as we move from the airport to airplane 2. We then substitute the slope and the point (15,9) into the point-slope form: y - 9 = -1/3(x - 15), which can be rearranged to the standard form: x + 3y = 42. Consequently, the system of equations is: 2x - y = 0 and x + 3y = 42. Multiplying the first equation by 3 produces a system of: 6x - 3y = 0 and x + 3y = 42. Adding these equations results in the equation 7x = 42. Thus, x = 6, and by substituting this value back into 2x - y = 0, we determine y = 12. Thus, we demonstrate that the airport's coordinates do indeed comprise the solution to our system.

If ABCD is a parallelogram, which of the following statements must be true?
lawyer [12517]

Answer: d. AB = CD and BC = AD


Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is defined as a four-sided figure with the following characteristics:-

  1. Opposite sides are equal (AB = CD and BC = AD ).
  2. Opposite angles are equal (∠A=∠C and ∠D=∠B).
  3. Consecutive angles are supplementary (∠A + ∠D = 180°).
  4. The diagonals bisect one another.
  5. If one angle is a right angle, then all angles are right angles.
