A new battery's voltage may be acceptable (A) or unacceptable (U). A certain flashlight requires two batteries, so batteries will be independently selected and tested until two acceptable ones have been found. Suppose that 90% of all batteries have acceptable voltages. What is the probability that you test exactly 4 batteries

The probability that you test exactly 4 batteries is 0.0243.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a new battery's voltage may be acceptable (A) or unacceptable (U). A certain flashlight requires two batteries, so batteries will be independently selected and tested until two acceptable ones have been found.

Suppose that 90% of all batteries have acceptable voltages.

Let the probability that batteries have acceptable voltages = P(A) = 0.90

So, the probability that batteries have unacceptable voltages = P(U) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.90 = 0.10

Now, the probability that you test exactly 4 batteries is given by the three cases. Firstly, note that batteries will be tested until two acceptable ones have been found.

So, the cases are = P(AUUA) + P(UAUA) + P(UUAA)

This means that we have tested 4 batteries until we get two acceptable batteries.

So, required probability = (0.90 0.10 0.10 0.90) + (0.10 0.90 0.10 0.90) + (0.10 0.10 0.90 0.90)

     =  0.0081 + 0.0081 + 0.0081 = 0.0243

Hence, the probability that you test exactly 4 batteries is 0.0243.

a, b, c, d are correct.

step-by-step explanation:

we have g(x) = 3 and are required to find which option is a translation of g(x).

now, 'translation' is a transformation which means to shift the function in any direction and the general form of translation is g(x) + k, where k is any real number.

so, according to the options we see that all are correct as they satisfy the general form of translation.

also, it can be seen from the graph below that the function g(x) = 3 is shifted from its position in all the four options.
