A. Correct. A pipe wrench is an adjustable wrench that contains two serrated jaws designed to grip and turn pipes or other items with a rounded surface.
B. Incorrect. An impact wrench is a pneumatically or electrically powered wrench that uses repeated blows from small internal hammers that generate torque to tighten or loosen fasteners.
C. Incorrect. Torque wrenches are manual wrenches that use a gauge to indicate the amount of torque (rotational force) being applied to the nut or bolt.

Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
A certain process for manufacturing integrated circuits has been in use for a period of time, and it is known that 12% of the circuits it produces are defective. A new process that is supposed to reduce the proportion of defectives is being tested. In a simple random sample of 100 circuits produced by the new process, 12 were defective. 1. If the proportion of defectives in the sample is less than 12%, it is reasonable to conclude that the new process is better. 2. If the proportion of defectives in the sample is only slightly less than 12%, the difference could well be due entirely to sampling variation, and it is not reasonable to conclude that the new process is better. 3. If the proportion of defectives in the sample is a lot less than 12%, it is very unlikely that the difference is due entirely to sampling variation, so it is reasonable to conclude that the new process is better.
