What is the percent of decrease from 500000 to 60000

In exponential growth functions, the base of the exponent must be greater than 1,how would the function change if the base of the exponent were 1? how would the fiction change if the base of the exponent were between 0and 1

Sole with work in 10 years, the average number of hours of tv watched per week by teenagers dropped from 23.9 to 21.4. find the percent of change.

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?
