John is buying pots for the plants in his garden. The small pots are priced at m dollars each. He has already spent b dollars on the big pots.
The following expression represents the total amount that John would spend on pots after buying x small pots.
*mx + b*
If the value of the small pots, m dollars, is tripled, select the statement that accurately describes its effect on the expression.

1) The amount that John has spent on big pots, b, will be one-third.

2) The amount that John has spent on big pots, b, will triple.

3) The amount that John will spend on small pots, mx, will triple.

4)The amount that John will spend on small pots, mx, will not change

Atriangular field has sides of lengths 21, 39, and 41 yd. find the largest angle. (round your answer to the nearest degree.)

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?
