Ryan is going to make a sculpture from a rectangular block of clay. The volume of the block is (x + 8)(x – 3)(2x – 5). Which statement about the volume of the block of clay is true?

The highest common factor of 132 and 220

What are the solutions to the following equation? |m| = 8.5 the value of m is equal to 8.5 and because each distance from zero is 8.5.

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event a↵ect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?
