Fertilizer is sold in 100 pound bags labelled with the amount of nitrogen ( n), phosphoric acid ( p2o5), and potash ( k2o) present. the mixture of these nutrients varies from one type of fertilizer to the next. for example, a 100 pound bag of vigoro ultra turf fertilizer contains 29 pounds of nitrogen, 3 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 4 pounds of potash. another type of fertilizer, parkerâ's premium starter, has 18 pounds of nitrogen, 25 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 6 pounds of potash per 100 pounds. determine the amount of each type required to yield a mixture containing the 134 pounds of nitrogen, 37 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 22 pounds of potash.

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 aâ†µect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?
