Which statement is true about the equations –3x + 4y = 12 and x – y = 1?

-3x + 4y = 12
x - y = 1....x = y + 1

-3(y + 1) + 4y = 12
-3y - 3 + 4y = 12
-3y + 4y = 12 + 3
y = 15

x - y = 1
x - 15 = 1
x = 1 + 15
x = 16

Mumz [18]

Answer:

31.25% probability that the Blair family had at least 3 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

For each children, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it was a girl, or it was not. The probability of a child being a girl is independent of any other children. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

They had 4 children.

This means that $n = 4$

The probability of a child being a girl is 0.5

This means that $p = 0.5$

Probability of at least 3 children:

$P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.25$

$P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.0625$

$P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.25 + 0.0625 = 0.3125$

31.25% probability that the Blair family had at least 3 girls

What is the correct classification of the system of equations below? 14x + 2y = 10 y + 7x = -5 parallel coincident intersecting

marissa [1.9K]

In standard form the two equations are
7x +y = 5
7x +y = -5

The equations describe lines that are parallel.
