9.4.34  question   to estimate the height of a stone  figure, an observer holds a small square up to her eyes and walks backward from the figure. she stops when the bottom of the figure aligns with the bottom edge of the  square, and when the top of the figure aligns with the top edge of the square. her eye level is 1.811.81 m from the ground. she is 3.703.70 m from the figure. what is the height of the figure to the nearest hundredth of a  meter?

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?
