In the function y= 1/3x^2, what effect does the number 1/3 have on the graph,
as compared to the graph of the function y= x^2

A. It stretches the graph horizontally by a factor of 3.
B. It shrinks the graph horizontally to 1/3 its original width.
C. It shrinks the graph vertically to 1/3 its original height.
D. It stretches the graph vertically by a factor of 3.

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?
