Assuming each chicken has exactly two legs and each goat has exactly four legs. How many chickens and
goats are there?
Let c – chickens
g – goats
Equations:
c + g = 37 total number of animals
2c + 4g = 100 total number of legs
Step 3: Carry out the plan
2c + 4g = 100 2c + 4g = 100
(c + g = 37) times 2 - 2c + 2g = 74
2g = 26
g=13
Step 4: Verification: review the solution
c + g = 37
c + 13 = 37
c = 24
Therefore: 24 chickens, 13 goats
Find the ∑X, mean 𝒙 ̅, median and mode(s) of the following numbers:
1.) 8, 3, 17, 17, 9, 22, 19, 3
Sum: ∑X
∑X = 8+3+17+17+9+22+19+3
∑X= 98
MEAN: X = (∑𝑋)/𝑁
= 98/ 8
X = 12.25
Arrange the scores:
3, 3, 8, 9, 17, 17, 19, 22
MEDIAN: 13
MODE: 3 and 17
