Prove that the value of the expression 7^8–7^7+7^6 is divisible by 43.

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?

Iwill give brainliest. give accurate answer, . suppose tommy walks from his home at (0, 0) to the mall at (0, 5), and then walks to a movie theater at (6, 5). after leaving the theater tommy walks to the store at (6, 0) before returning home. if each grid square represents one block, how many blocks does he walk?
