Answer:
<span>B. 3 ft, 5 ft and 7 ft
</span>
Explanation:
In any triangle, the sum of any two sides must be greater that the third one.

Therefore, to know if the given sides represent a triangle or not, all what we will do is add the two short sides and compare the result to the largest one.
We would have 3 options:
sum of short sides > longest side ......> It is a triangle
sum of short sides < longest side ......> It is not a triangle
sum of short sides = longest sides ....> It is not a triangle

Now, for the given:
1- Option A:
sum of short sides = 3 + 6 = 9 ft which is equal to the longest side
This option is incorrect

2- Option B:
sum of short sides = 3 + 5 = 8 ft which is greater than the longest side
This option is correct

3- Option C:
sum of short sides = 3 + 6 = 9 ft which is less than the longest side
This option is incorrect

4- Option D:
sum of short sides = 3 + 9 = 12 ft which is less than the longest side
This option is incorrect

Based on the above, the only correct option is B.

Hope this helps :)

Answer: 0.1334

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are seven trails with a probability of success is  p=\frac{1}{4}

\therefore q=1-p\\q=1-\frac{1}{4}\\q=\frac{3}{4}

Using the binomial distribution, the Probability of exactly no success i.e. x=0 is given by

\Rightarrow ^7C_0\cdot p^0 \cdot q^{7-0}\\\Rightarrow 1\times(\frac{1}{4})^0 \cdot (\frac{3}{4})^7\\\Rightarrow 1\times 1 \cdot (0.75)^7\\\Rightarrow 0.1334
