If (8^a)^b = 1, what must a or b equal?

List a possible value for a and b.

Which of the following equations are equivalent to -2m - 5m - 8 = 3 + (-7) + m? -15m = -4m -7m - 8 = m - 4 -3m - 8 = 4 - m m - 4 = -7m - 8 -8 - 7m = -4 + m -8 - 3m = 4 - m

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?

Astudent must have an average on five test that is greater than it equal to 80% but less than 90% to receive a final grade of b. devon's greades on the first four test were 78% 62% 91% and 80% what range if grades on the fifth test would give him a b in the course? ( assuming the highest grade is 100%)
