Answer:
All of them
Step-by-step explanation:
Slowest- 5.665 because it is 5 so it will round up.
Fastest- 5.669 will also round up to the nearest hundredth which is 5.67
Argument
You have a total of 8 + 9 + 3 balls = 20
The first ball is 17/20 Probability that no ball drawn is red the first time
The Second ball is 16/19 Probability that no ball drawn is red the 2nd time
The third ball is 15/18 Probability that no ball drawn is red the 3rd time
Answer
Total Probability = 17/20 * 16/19 * 15/18 = 34/57
My calculator figures out fractions. You can do this just as easily with decimals.
0.85 * 0.8421 * 0.8333333 = 0.5964
34/57 = 0.5965 which is close enough.
If you have choices, choose the one that coincides with my answer. Otherwise use the decimal value.
Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term") ... so it says "many terms"
A polynomial can have:
constants (like 3, −20, or ½)
variables (like x and y)
exponents (like the 2 in y2), but only 0, 1, 2, 3, ... etc are allowed
that can be combined using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division ...
... except ...
... not division by a variable (so something like 2/x is right out)
So:
A polynomial can have constants, variables and exponents,
but never division by a variable.
Also they can have one or more terms, but not an infinite number of terms.
These are polynomials:
3x
x − 2
−6y2 − ( 79 )x
3xyz + 3xy2z − 0.1xz − 200y + 0.5
512v5 + 99w5
5
(Yes, "5" is a polynomial, one term is allowed, and it can be just a constant!)
These are not polynomials
3xy-2 is not, because the exponent is "-2" (exponents can only be 0,1,2,...)
2/(x+2) is not, because dividing by a variable is not allowed
1/x is not either
√x is not, because the exponent is "½" (see fractional exponents)
But these are allowed:
x/2 is allowed, because you can divide by a constant
also 3x/8 for the same reason
√2 is allowed, because it is a constant (= 1.4142...etc)
