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 square of a positive integer is added to 2 times the integer the result is 48. find the integer.

Let x have probability generating function gx (s) and let un generating function u(s) of the sequence uo, u1, satisfies p(x > n). show that the (1- s)u(s) = 1 - gx(s), whenever the series defining these generating functions converge.
