2. An animal farmer has 37 chickens and goats in his farm. The total number of legs among them is 100.

Assuming each chicken has exactly two legs and each goat has exactly four legs. How many chickens and
goats are there?

Step 1 & 2: Understand the problem and Devise a plan

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

2.) -5, 0, 2, 3, -1, -2, 4, 5, 7


Sum: ∑X
∑X= (-5) +0+ 2+ 3+ (-1) +( -2) + 4+ 5+ 7
∑X= 13
MEAN: X = (∑𝑋)/𝑁
= 13/9
X = 1.44
Arrange the scores:
-5, -2, -1, 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7
MEDIAN: 2
MODE: No mode
