Yes it is, assuming we decide to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse (10) it'll be possible considering the formula is c²=√a²+b²
(c being the longest side of the triangle)
a= 6 and b= 8

c² =√6² + 8²
c² = √100 square root of 100 equals 10
c= 10

Of police academy applicants, only 25% will pass all the examinations. suppose that 12 successful candidates are needed. what is

Genrish500 [490]

The probability is 0.0008.

I used a binomial probability on this one, since there are two outcomes (either pass or fail); the events are independent (the probability of one person passing does not influence the probability of another passing); and there are a fixed number of trials (in this case, 20).

For binomial probabilities, we use the formula:
$_nC_k=p^k*(1-p)^{n-k}$

With our information, we have:
