The equation K = StartFraction one-half EndFractionmv2 represents the energy an object has based on its motion. The kinetic energy, K, is based on the mass of the object, m, and the velocity of the object, v. Lashandra is given K and v for 10 different objects. In order to make solving more efficient, she solves the equation for m : m = m equals StartFraction K Over 2 v squared EndFraction.. After attempting to determine the mass of a few objects, Lashandra realizes there must be something wrong with her formula.

What is Lashandra’s error?

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?
