How do you do this mathematics problem d-3/5=5/8

Lois and clark own a company that sells wagons. the amount they pay each of their sales employees (in dollars) is given by the expression 12h+30w12h+30w where hh is the number of hours worked and ww is the number of wagons sold.

Which product is positive a is 2/5 -8/9 -1/3 -2/7 b is -2/5 8/9 -1/3 -2/7 c is 2/5 8/9 1/3 -2/7 d is -2/5 -8/9 1/3 2/7

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?
