Answer:

P(M4\ n\ V) = 2.083\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Paper = 20 slips

Word: PENNSYLVANIA

Required

Determine P(Multiple of 4 and V)

The sample size of the 20 slips is:

n(S) = 20

The outcomes of multiples of 4 is:

M4= \{4,8,12,16,20\}

n(M4) = 5

So, the probability of multiples of 4 is:

Pr(M4) = \frac{5}{20}

Pr(M4) = \frac{1}{4}

The sample size of PENNSYLVANIA is:

n(S) = 12

The outcome of V is:

n(V) = 1

So, the probability of V is:

P(V) = \frac{1}{12}

So, the required probability is: P(Multiple of 4 and V)

P(M4\ n\ V) = P(M4) * P(V)

P(M4\ n\ V) = \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{12}

P(M4\ n\ V) = \frac{1}{48}

P(M4\ n\ V) = 0.02083

Express as percentage

P(M4\ n\ V) = 0.02083 * 100\%

P(M4\ n\ V) = 2.083\%

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 3, 3, and the square root 3. Can the triangle be a right triangle?
Readme [11.4K]
First find the decimal equivalent of square root 3: SQRT(3) = 1.732 ( roughly)
 
If the base and height were each 3, then the hypotenuse would need to be:

3^2 + 3^2 = C^2
9 + 9 = C^2
18 = C^2
C = SQRT(18) = 4.24

This is larger than sqrt(3), so this cannot be a right triangle.


If one leg was 3 and the other leg was sqrt(3) then the hypotenuse would be:
3^2 + 1.73^2 = C^2
9 + 3 = C^2
12 = C^2
C = SQRT(12) = 3.46

This is larger than 3, this cannot be a right triangle.

The answer is b) no.
