Student Council members are designing a large poster that will tell people who each member is and what position each person holds. Each member gets a triangle piece of paper to decorate, then all the pieces will be fitted together to form the final display. The triangles are identical and fit together to form a regular polygon. It will look similar to the shape below: If there are 8 council members, what type of polygon will be formed?
To achieve this shape, what type of triangles will the individual pieces be? What will be the measures of each of the three angles in each of the triangles?
What will be the sum of the measures of the internal angles of the final shape?
Redo parts (b) and (c) if the Council decides to include triangles for the two staff advisors, assuming the poster will still form a regular polygon, but now with 10 triangles.

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?
