In the construction process for solid-state flash memory drives (thumb drives), nearly all drives areconstructed with a large potential amount of storage space, and are sold base on the actual amountof memory that forms correctly during the process (For example, drives that are designed to store 64gb but contain a large number of bad sectors will instead be formated and sold as 32 gb). Consider amanufacturing process where every chip has a 21% of having enough bad sectors to be downgraded,and these errors are random and independent.(a) If we wish to compute the probability thatxnumber of chips out of a production run of sizenaredowngraded, do we have a probability distribution that will work for that?

A pizza box is formed from a 20-cm by 40-cm rectangular piece of cardboard by cutting out six squares of equal size, three from each long side of the rectangle, and then folding the cardboard in the obvious manner to create a box. Let x be the length of each side of the six squares. For what value of x will the box have greatest volume?
