Because it says it’s looking for the ESTIMATED sum. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, and that would be an estimated answer.
Answer:
B. 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this we have to take into account this axioms:
- The total probability is always equal to 1.
- The probability of a randomly selected point being inside the circle is equal to one minus the probability of being outside the circle.
Then, if the probabilities are proportional to the area, we have 1/3 probability of selecting a point inside a circle and (1-1/3)=2/3 probability of selecting a point that is outside the circle.
Then, the probabilty that a random selected point inside the square (the total probability space) and outside the circle is 2/3.
To factor this you need values that add up to 2 and multiply to -15
So you get 5,-3 then you put it into your equation for you b value
X^2+5x-3x-15
Then you can factor by grouping
X(x+5)-3(x+5)
So your factors are
(X+5)(x-3)
