Three friends want to meet at a place that is the same distance from each of their houses. They draw a map and measure the approximate distances and angles, as shown. A triangle is labeled with Jo apostrophe s House, Boris apostrophe s House, and Carrie apostrophe s house on the points. The length from Jo to Boris is 0.5 miles, the length from Boris to Carrie is 0.4 miles, and the length from Carrie to Jo is 0.6 miles. The angle at Jo is 38 degrees. The angle at Boris is 88 degrees. The angle at Carrie is 54 degrees. Which step should they take next to find a meeting place that is the same distance from each person’s house? Find the midpoint of the segments which connect their houses. Bisect each of the angles with vertices at their houses. Draw perpendicular lines through any point on the segments which connect their houses. Draw perpendicular line segments from each vertex to the opposite side.

The scale for a map is 20 miles = 1/2 inch. the distance between two towns on the map is 3 3/4 inches. what is the actual distance between these towns? 150 miles 38 miles 75 miles 135 miles

What is 100,000 times 1/100,000, using the standard method of multiplication? write the answer as 10 to a power.

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?
