Answer:

C.) 5, 12, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides must equal the square of the longest side (Pythagoras).

a² + b² = c²

We can test each set of numbers to see which one fits.

A.) 8² +  12² =   16²

    64 + 144 = 256

           208 ≠ 256

B.) 6² +  7² =  8²

   36 + 49 = 64

           85 ≠ 64

C.) 5² +  12² =   13²

    25 + 144 = 169

            169 = 169

The numbers 5, 12, and 13 could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

D.) 16² +    32² =    36²

   256 + 1024 = 1296

              1280 ≠ 1296

A stationary store has decided to accept a large shipment of ball-point pens if an inspection of 19 randomly selected pens yield
Romashka [77]

Given Information:  

Probability of shipment accepted = p = 5%

Probability of shipment not accepted = q = 95%

Total number of pens = n = 19

Required Information:  

Probability of shipment being accepted with no more than 2 defective pens = P( x ≤ 2) = ?  

Answer:

P( x ≤ 2) = 0.933

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem can be solved using Bernoulli distribution  which is given by

P(n, x) = nCx pˣqⁿ⁻ˣ  

The probability of no more than 2 defective pens means

P( x ≤ 2) = Probability of 0 defective pen + Probability of 1 defective pen + Probability of 2 defective pens

P( x ≤ 2) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2)

For P(0) we have p = 0.05, q = 0.95, n = 19 and x = 0

P(0) = 19C0(0.05)⁰(0.95)¹⁹

P(0) = (1)(1)(0.377)

P(0) = 0.377

For P(1) we have p = 0.05, q = 0.95, n = 19 and x = 1

P(1) = 19C1(0.05)¹(0.95)¹⁸

P(1) = (19)(0.05)(0.397)

P(1) = 0.377

For P(2) we have p = 0.05, q = 0.95, n = 19 and x = 2

P(2) = 19C2(0.05)²(0.95)¹⁷

P(2) = (171)(0.0025)(0.418)

P(2) = 0.179

Therefore, the required probability is

P( x ≤ 2) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2)

P( x ≤ 2) = 0.377 + 0.377 + 0.179

P( x ≤ 2) = 0.933

P( x ≤ 2) = 93.3%

Therefore, the probability that this shipment is accepted with no more than 2 defective pens is 0.933.
