Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill in the blanks. A pair of kids and a pair of adults decided to compete in a three-legged race. The kids got to start 34 meters ahead of the adults, since they had shorter legs. When they were told to start, the kids hobbled forward at a rate of 1 meter per second, and the adults hobbled after them at a rate of 2 meters per second. Soon they were side-by-side. How long did that take? How far did the adults go?

It took _ seconds for the adults to go _ meters and catch up to the kids.

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?
