Suppose 88% of all batteries from a supplier have acceptable voltages. A certain type of flashlight requires two D batteries, and the flashlight will work only if both its batteries have acceptable voltages. Treat all batteries and flashlights as independent of one another. Suppose 20 randomly selected batteries are placed into 10 flashlights. What is the probability that at least 9 of the flashlights function properly

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.3036 = 30.36% probability that at least 9 of the flashlights function properly.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each flashlight, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it works, or it does not. Flashlights are independent. This means that 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.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

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

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Flashlight works correctly if both its batteries have acceptable voltages:

Each battery has an 88% = 0.88 probability of working correctly(having acceptable voltage), so the probability of the flashlight working correctly is given by:

[tex]p = (0.88)^2 = 0.7744[/tex]

10 flashlights.

This means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]

What is the probability that at least 9 of the flashlights function properly?

This is

[tex]P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}(0.7744)^{9}.(0.2256)^{1} = 0.2260[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}(0.7744)^{10}.(0.2256)^{0} = 0.0776[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.2260 + 0.0776 = 0.3036[/tex]

0.3036 = 30.36% probability that at least 9 of the flashlights function properly.

A biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of algae. She writes the following equation to show the radius of the algae, f(d), in mm, after d days:

f(d) = 9(1.04)d

Part A: When the biologist concluded her study, the radius of the algae was approximately 12.81 mm. What is a reasonable domain to plot the growth function?

Answers

Answer:

9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

1= 9*(1.04)^d

12.81/9= (1.04)^d

1.423= (1.04)^d

log(1.423)= d *log(1.04)

0.1532=d * 0.017

d= 0.1532/0.017

d=9

The reasonable domain to plot the growth function is in the interval [0,9].

13.65 = h + 4.88 What the answer

Answers

Answer:

h = 8.77

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, h. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 4.88 from both sides:

h + 4.88 = 13.65

h + 4.88 (-4.88) = 13.65 (-4.88)

h = 13.65 - 4.88

h = 8.77

8.77 is your answer for h.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The First graph shows only the solutions to the inequality that makes sense for this situation.

What is Inequality?

Relation between two mathematical identities which is not equal that is it can be either greater than or less than or greater and equals to or less and equals to etc, is called Inequality.

In the given problem the variable is the number of cars.

Let us assume that the variable c represents the variable quantity which is the number of cars for the inequality.

Now we know that number of cars is always a positive and whole number.

So the suitable inequality to represent the condition that the number of cars is not more than 7 that is less than or equals to 7 is,

[tex]c \leq 7[/tex]

So the solutions are c=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Hence the first graph shows the correct solution for the given inequality condition.

The circumference is approximately 88 inches.

The correct option is B. 88 in.

To find the circumference of a circle, we can use the formula:

C = 2πr,

where C represents the circumference and r represents the radius of the circle.

Given that the radius, r, is 14 inches, we can substitute this value into the formula:

C = 2 x 3.14 x 14.

C ≈ 87.92 inches.

Thus, the circumference is approximately 88 inches.

Answer:

either 4/6 or 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 12 can be divide in half which is 6, and 8 divided by 2 is 4, so your fraction is now 4/6. if this answer isn't on the screen then you have to do it again: 4 divide by 2 is 2, and 6 divided by 2 is 3, so your fraction is now 2/3.

Option D is correct

What is horizontal compression?

Note that:

If a function [tex]f(x)=Asin(x)[/tex] is transformed to [tex]g(x)=Asin(kx)[/tex], it means that the function f(x) is horizontally compressed by 1/k

Relating this rule to the given function [tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{2}sin(x)-4[/tex]

If x is replaced with 3x, the function will become:

[tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{2}sin(3x)-4[/tex]
