Answer: Choice B) {3, 5, sqrt(34)}
=====================================
Explanation:
We can only have a right triangle if and only if a^2+b^2 = c^2 is a true equation. The 'c' is the longest side, aka hypotenuse. The legs 'a' and 'b' can be in any order you want.
-----------
For choice A,
a = 2
b = 3
c = sqrt(10)
So,
a^2+b^2 = 2^2+3^2 = 4+9 = 13
but
c^2 = (sqrt(10))^2 = 10
which is not equal to 13 from above. Cross choice A off the list.
-----------
Checking choice B
a = 3
b = 5
c = sqrt(34)
Square each equation
a^2 = 3^2 = 9
b^2 = 5^2 = 25
c^2 = (sqrt(34))^2 = 34
We can see that
a^2+b^2 = 9+25 = 34
which is exactly equal to c^2 above. This confirms the answer.
-----------
Let's check choice C
a = 5, b = 8, c = 12
a^2 = 25, b^2 = 64, c^2 = 144
So,
a^2+b^2 = c^2
25+64 = 144
89 = 144
which is a false equation allowing us to cross choice C off the list.
Haha, I don't think those answers belong to the question asked :P
The probability of rolling less than 3 is 2/6=1/3
So if you rolled 450 times you should expect to roll less than 3:
450(1/3)=150 times.
Answer: P(odd) = 0.499
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of people = 20
Number of men = 12
Number of women = 8
Number of jury to be selected = 6
For the jury to have an odd number of women. it must have either of the three.
1. 1 woman , 5 men
2. 3 women, 3 men
3. 5 women, 1 man
The total possible ways of selecting the 6 people jury is;
N = 20C6 = 20!/6!(20-6)!
N = 38760
The possible ways of selecting;
Case 1 : 1 woman, 5 men
N1 = 8C1 × 12C5
N1 = 8 × 792 = 6336
Case 2 : 3 women , 3 men
N2 = 8C3 × 12C3
N2 = 12320
Case 3 : 5 women, 1 man
N3 = 8C5 × 12C1
N3 = 672
P(Odd) = (N1+N2+N3)/N
P(odd) = (6336+12320+672)/38760
P(odd) = 19328/38760
P(odd) = 0.499
