Researchers are measuring the number of days lettuce seeds take to germinate. The box-and-whisker plot summarizes the data. What can you conclude from the box-and-whisker plot?

a) 25% of the seeds took more than 6 days to germinate.

b) 25% of the seeds took less than 5 days to germinate.

c) 50% of the seeds took more than 8 days to germinate.

d) The median number of days for the seeds to germinate was 3.

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?
