An open, rectangular box with length of 6 feet, width of 4 feet, and height of 2.5 feet is to be painted on all exterior sides, including the bottom, with a special waterproof coating. Each gallon of this special coating covers 12 square feet of surface area and costs $36.00. The box is then to be filled with water that weighs approximately 62 pounds per cubic foot. a) Find the cost of painting this open box
b) Find the weight of the water in the filled box.

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?
