Organizers of an Internet training session will charge participants $150 to attend. It costs $3000 to reserve the room, hire the instructor, bring in the equipment, and advertise. Assume it costs $25 per student for the organizers to provide the course materials.

a. How many students would have to attend for the company to break even?

b. If the trainers think, realistically, that 20 people will attend, then what price should be charged per person for the organization to break even?

Solve each quadratic equation by factoring and using the zero product property. 10x + 6 = -2x^2 -2

Select the conic section that represents the equation. 3x2 + 3y2 -2x + 4 = 0

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?
