A friend recently planned a camping trip. He had two flashlights, one that required a single 6-V battery and another that used two size-D batteries. He had previously packed two 6-V and four size-D batteries in his camper. Suppose the probability that any particular battery works is p and that batteries work or fail independently of one another. Our friend wants to take just one flashlight. For what values of p should he take the 6-V flashlight

The values of p = 0 < p ≤ 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First we write the probability of 6V flashlight working representing it as a binomial mass function of a binomial random variable

P ( 6v flashlight working  ) = P ( at least one 6V battery works )

                                           = P ( 1 6v battery work )  + P ( 2  6v battery work )

                                           = b( 2; 2, p ) + b( 1; 2, p )

write out a formula of  b( 2; 2, p ) + b( 1; 2, p )

P ( 6v flashlight working  )  = p^2 + 2p( 1 - p )

Next we write the probability of D flashlight working representing it as a binomial mass function of a binomial random variable

P ( D flashlight works ) = p ( at least two D batteries works )

                                     = b( 4; 4, p ) + b(3;4, p ) + b(2; 4, p )

write out a formula of  b( 4; 4, p ) + b(3;4, p ) + b(2; 4, p )

P ( D flashlight works ) =

attached below is the remaining solution

choice b is correct

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the following system of inequalities;

we are required to graph the solution to the system of inequalities. using a graphing tool, the graph of the system is as shown in the attachment. the continuous line represents the graph of while the dotted line represents .
