1. **Define the problem**: We know we have a side length b = 3, and the projection of b on the hypotenuse is given as 4.

2. **Use logic of geometry**: The projection must always be shorter than or equal to the side itself.

3. **Apply the contradiction**: The projection being greater than the side itself ( 4 > 3 ) directly indicates a fundamental contradiction.

4. **Conclusion**: Such a triangle does not exist in Euclidean geometry where the side projections violate the fundamental rules.

We plan to test whether the mean mRNA expression level differs between two strains of yeast, for each of 8,000 genes. We will measure the expression levels of each gene, in n samples of strain 1 and m samples of strain 2. We plan to compute a P-value for each gene, using an unpaired two-sample t-test for each gene (the particular type of test does not matter). a) What are the null hypotheses in these tests (in words)? [2] b) If, in fact, the two strains are identical, how many of these tests do we expect to produce a P-value exceeding 1/4? [2]
