One of four calculator batteries is bad. An experiment consists of testing each battery until the dead one is found.
(a) How many possible outcomes are there for this experiment?
(b) Is the outcome GBGG (Good, Bad, Good, Good) possible? Why or why not?

(a) 4 possible outcomes

(b) Not possible, testing stops upon finding the bad battery,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let G denote a good battery and B denote a bad battery.

Whenever a bad battery is found, the batteries stop being tested.

(a) The outcomes for this experiment are:

B

GB

GGB

GGGB

There are 4 possible outcomes.

(b) The outcome GBGG is not possible since testing stops upon finding the bad battery, the outcome in this case would be GB.

the answer is 62

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
