The newspaper in Haventown had a circulation of 80,000 papers in the year 2000. In 2010, the circulation was 50,000. With x=0 representing the year 2000, the graph below models this scenario. A coordinate plane showing Newspaper Circulation, Years Since 2000 on the x-axis and Circulation on the y-axis. A line starting at (0, 80,000), passing through a point at (10, 50,000) and ending at (18, 25,000).

What number will complete the point-slope equation that models this scenario?

y−50,000=[](x−10)

−3,000
−2,000
2,000
3,000

There are 15 plates and each plate is either 7 or 12 inches diameter. which systems of equations do you use to find the number of 7 inch plates, x and 12 inch plates, y

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?
