If there are x ducks and y pigs, then we know that

x + y = 17

2x + 4y = 50

Solving these simultaneous equations gives9 ducks and 8 pigs.

Dilution factor is the final volume / aliquot volume. Aliquot volume is the measure of sub volume of original sample. Final volume is the total volume. Dilution factor =final volume /aliquot vol. for example ; what is the df when you add 2ml sample to 8m??? total vol is 2+8=10 DF=total vol/aliquot. 10/2=5 So 5 is dilution factor

What is the probability of a coin landing on heads twice when it is flipped 3 times?

Your question is slightly vague, so I will pose a more defined question: What is the probability of 3 coin tosses resulting in heads exactly twice? This is a pretty easy question to answer. The three possible (winning) outcomes are: 1. Heads, Heads, Tails. 2. Heads, Tails, Heads. 3. Tails, Heads, Heads. If we look at the possible combination of other (losing) outcomes, we can easily determine the probability: 4. Heads, Heads, Heads. 5. Tails, Tails, Heads. 6. Tails, Heads, Tails. 7. Heads, Tails, Tails. 8. Tails, Tails, Tails. This means that to throw heads twice in 3 flips, we have a 3 in 8 chance. This is because there are 3 winning possibilities out of a total of 8 winning and losing possibilities.
