During a recent increase in the price of a barrel of oil, a market analyst tried to determine whether to apply a linear model or an exponential model. During the first 4 weeks of the year, U. S. crude oil prices closed at the following values: U. S. Crude Oil Prices
Week Price
1 $39.20
2 $66.64
3 $113.29
4 $192.59

Does the increase in price represent linear or exponential growth? What is the growth factor or rate of change?
Linear, and the constant rate of change is $27.44 per week
Linear, and the growth factor is 1.7 per week
Exponential, and the growth factor is 1.7 per week
Exponential, and the constant rate of change is $27.44 per week

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?
