The height of a triangle is 6x cm and the base is (3x + 10) cm. The area of the triangle is 816 cm. What are the dimensions of the base and height of the triangle?

On average, how many more hits will he get when he bats 100 times at home during the day as opposed to 100 times away at night?

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?

If the car had not hit the fence, how much farther would it have skidded? solve the skid-distance formula to find the extra distance that the car would have traveled if it had not hit the fence. round your answer to two decimal places. note that unit conversion is built into the skid distance formula, so no unit conversions are needed.
