Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of questions (N) = 16
Number of easy questions (E) = 8
Number of medium-hard questions (M) = 5
Number of hard questions (H) = 3
Now, the probability of getting the first question as easy question is given as:
Now, probability of getting the second question as easy question is given as:
Now, probability that the first two contestants will get easy questions is given by the product of 
. So,
Therefore, the probability that the first two contestants will get easy questions is
It is not equivalent to the original
3/4
1/6 of the pot is 2/12
1/12 + 2/12 is 3/12
1 - 3/12 is 9/12 = 3/4
3/4 of the pot is left over
Using limits, the polynomial that has an even degree and a negative leading coefficient is:
Polynomial going down from the left and passing through the point negative 7 comma 0 and going to a local minimum and then going up through the point negative 3 comma 0 and 0 comma 8 to a local maximum and then down to the right through the point 4 comma 0.
<h3>What is a limit?</h3>
A limit is given by the value of function f(x) as x tends to a value.
In this problem, to find the polynomial, we have to find the limits as x goes to infinity, hence:
![\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} f(x) = [tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} -a x^n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clim_%7Bx%20%5Crightarrow%20-%5Cinfty%7D%20f%28x%29%20%3D%20%5Btex%5D%5Clim_%7Bx%20%5Crightarrow%20-%5Cinfty%7D%20-a%20x%5En)
Since n is even, we have that:
Since it goes down to the left and down to the right, hence the function is:
Polynomial going down from the left and passing through the point negative 7 comma 0 and going to a local minimum and then going up through the point negative 3 comma 0 and 0 comma 8 to a local maximum and then down to the right through the point 4 comma 0.
