<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of solutions will be one.

( i.e. the system of equation has a unique solution )

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a system of equations such that:

One of the equation has a negative reciprocal slope as compared to the other.

This means that the two lines are perpendicular.

Hence, the two lines will definitely meet or intersect at just one point and at right angles.

Also we know that the solutions  of a system of linear equations are the points where the two lines intersect.

Hence, we will have just one solution.

( since here the two lines will intersect at just one point )

I toss an unfair coin 12 times. This coin is 65% likely to show up heads. Calculate the probability of the following.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

a. 0.0368

b. 0.99992131

c. 0.2039

d. 0.0048

e. 0.6533

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the probability of obtaining a head be p = 65% = 13/20 = 0.65. The probability of not obtaining a head is q = 1 - p = 1 -13/20 = 7/20 = 0.35

Since this is a binomial probability, we use a binomial probability.

a. The probability of obtaining 11 heads is ¹²C₁₁p¹¹q¹ = 12 × (0.65)¹¹(0.35) = 0.0368

b. Probability of 2 or more heads P(x ≥ 2) is

P(x ≥ 2) = 1 - P(x ≤ 1)

Now P(x ≤ 1) = P(0) + P(1)

= ¹²C₀p⁰q¹² + ¹²C₁p¹q¹¹

= (0.65)⁰(0.35)¹² + 12(0.65)¹(0.35)¹¹

= 0.000003379 + 0.00007531

= 0.0007869

P(x ≥ 2) = 1 - P(x ≤ 1)

= 1 - 0.00007869

= 0.99992131

c. The probability of obtaining 7 heads is ¹²C₇p⁷q⁵ = 792(0.65)⁷(0.35)⁵ = 0.2039

d. The probability of obtaining 7 heads is ¹²C₉q⁹p³ = 220(0.65)³(0.35)⁹ = 0.0048

e. Probability of 8 heads or less P(x ≤ 8) = ¹²C₀p⁰q¹² + ¹²C₁p¹q¹¹ + ¹²C₂p²q¹⁰ + ¹²C₃p³q⁹ + ¹²C₄p⁴q⁸ + ¹²C₅p⁵q⁷ + ¹²C₆p⁶q⁶ + ¹²C₇p⁷q⁵ + ¹²C₈p⁸q⁴

= = ¹²C₀(0.65)⁰(0.35)¹² + ¹²C₁(0.65)¹(0.35)¹¹ + ¹²C₂(0.65)²(0.35)¹⁰ + ¹²C₃(0.65)³(0.35)⁹ + ¹²C₄(0.65)⁴(0.35)⁸ + ¹²C₅(0.65)⁵(0.35)⁷ + ¹²C₆(0.65)⁶(0.35)⁶ + ¹²C₇(0.65)⁷(0.35)⁵ + ¹²C₈(0.65)⁸(0.35)⁴

= 0.000003379 + 0.00007531 + 0.0007692 + 0.004762 + 0.01990 + 0.05912 + 0.1281 + 0.2039 + 0.2367

= 0.6533
