Step-by-step explanation:
1) The probability of getting a queen is 187/10000 which is 0.0187 = 1.87%

Your discriminant of -8 is <em>negative</em>, so it indicates ...
There are two complex roots
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
We generally study polynomials with <em>real coefficients</em>. These will never have an odd number of complex roots. Their complex roots always come in conjugate pairs.
