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

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.

In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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:

10 flashlights.

This means that

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

This is

In which

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

if you use photomath right away it will give you the answer not like this app that you have to wait for people.

i believe the correct answer is option 4.principalities were small territories that were run by russian rulers.

which statement correctly defines principalities in northern asia in the 1200s? principalities were small territories that were run by russian rulers.

hope i could ! : )
