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 93% of all batteries have acceptable voltages. Let Y denote the number of batteries that must be tested.

a. What is p(2), that is P(y = 2)?
b. What is p(3)?
c. To have Y = 5, what must be true of the fifth battery selected?

i. The fifth battery must be an A.
ii. The fifth battery must be a U.

a. P(y = 2) =  0.8469

b. p(3) =  0.121

c .To have Y = 5  The fifth battery must be an A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

93% batteries have acceptable voltages

Let Y denotes the number of batteries that must be tested.

P(acceptable) = P(A)

P(A) = 0.93

P(unacceptable) = P(U)  

P(U) =  1- P(A)

P(U)  = 1- 0.93

P(U)  = 0.07

a. What is p(2), that is P(y = 2)

P(y = 2) = P(AA)

P(AA) = (0.93)(0.093)

P(AA) = 0.8469

b) What is p(3)

The favourable cases to y=3 are AUA, UAA

P(y = 3)  = P ( A UA ) + P ( U A A )

P ( A UA ) + P ( U A A ) =  

P ( A UA ) + P ( U A A )  =0.0605 +  0.0605

P ( A UA ) + P ( U A A )  = 0.121

(c) To have Y = 5, what must be true of the fifth battery selected?

In order to have y=5 the 5th battery must be second acceptable battery

The favorable outcomes are AUUUA, UUUAA, UAUUA and UUAUA

P(y=5) = P(AUUUA) + P(UUUAA) +  P(UAUUA) + P(UUAUA)

=  0.008

.24

step-by-step explanation:

the probability is   .24

the first player had the highest probability of getting a silver marble

the game could be made fair by adding back the marble that was drawn after each draw

b) k’(6, 4); l’(3, 3)

step-by-step explanation:

a 270° clockwise rotation maps every point (x, y) to (y, -x). (it negates the x-coordinate and then switches it and the y-coordinate.)

this means the endpoints of the side congruent to kl, k' and l', would be mapped as:

k'(-4, 6)→(6, 4)

l'(-3, 3)→(3, 3)
