Randi and Leah are studying together for an exam. Let X represent the number of hours Randi spends studying nightly, and let Y represent the number of hours Leah spends studying nightly. The mean of X is 4.5 hours with a
standard deviation of 1.1 hours, and the mean of Y is 3.7 hours with a standard deviation of 1.8 hours. Assuming
these are independent random variables, which answer choice correctly calculates and interprets the standard
deviation of the sum, S = X + Y?
O us = 0.7; Randi and Leah can expect the total number of hours spent studying to vary by approximately 0.7 hours
from the mean.
O us = 1.7; Randi and Leah can expect the total number of hours spent studying to vary by approximately 1.7 hours
from the mean.
Us = 2.1; Randi and Leah can expect the total number of hours spent studying to vary by approximately 2.1 hours
from the mean.
O Hs = 2.9; Randi and Leah can expect the total number of hours spent studying to vary by approximately 2.9 hours
from the mean.

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?
