Mikhail believes he can use the multiplication expression 1/2x6 to find the total number of

pound servings of rice he can make

from 6 pounds of rice. Which statement best explains why Mikhail is correct or incorrect?

Mikhail is correct in using a multiplication expression because the product of 6 and 1/2 is an integer.

Mikhail is correct in using a multiplication expression because 1/2 is the number of servings per pound.

Mikhail is incorrect in using a multiplication expression because the term "total" implies finding the sum of an addition

expression.

Mikhail is incorrect in using a multiplication expression because the question asks how many equal-sized parts 6 can be

divided into.

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?
