Answer:
The zeros of the given polynomial function are
2,2,
Step-by-step explanation:
Given polynomial is
To find the zeros equate the given polynomial to zero
ie., P(x)=0
By using synthetic division we can solve the polynomial:
2_| 1 -4 -1 20 -20
0 2 -4 -10 20
_____________________
1 -2 -5 10 |_0
Therefore x-2=0
x=2 is a zero of P(x)
Now we can write the cubic equation as below:
Again using synthetic division
2_| 1 -2 -5 10
0 2 0 -10
______________
1 0 -5 |_0
Therefore x-2=0
x=2 is also a zero of P(x).
Now we have
is a zero of P(x)
Therefore the zeros are 2,2,
Answer:
(1) The correct option is (A).
(2) The probability that Aadi will get Tails is .
Step-by-step explanation:
It is provided that:
- Eric throws a biased coin 10 times. He gets 3 tails.
- Sue throw the same coin 50 times. She gets 20 tails.
The probability of tail in both cases is:
(1)
According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.
In this case we need to compute the proportion of tails.
Then according to the Central limit theorem, Sue's estimate is best because she throws it <em>n = </em>50 > 30 times.
Thus, the correct option is (A).
(2)
As explained in the first part that Sue's estimate is best for getting a tail, the probability that Aadi will get Tails when he tosses the coin once is:
Thus, the probability that Aadi will get Tails is .
