Answer:
degree 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of a polynomial is determined by the term with the largest exponent for the polynomial in standard form
Given
P(x) = (x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)(2x - 5)
We need only consider the product of the leading terms in each factor, that is
x(x)(x)(2x) = 2 ← is the leading term in the expansion of the factors
with exponent 4
Thus polynomial is of degree 4
Using the z-table, the probability that a student taking this test will finish in 100 minutes or less is 0.0824 or 8.24%.
For a normally distributed set of data, given the mean and standard deviation, the probability can be determined by solving the z-score and using the z-table.
First, solve for the z-score using the formula below.
z-score = (x – μ) / σ
where x = individual data value = 100
μ = mean = 125
σ = standard deviation = 18
z-score = (100 – 125) / 18
z-score = (-25) / 18
z-score = -1.39
Find the probability that corresponds to the z-score in the z-table. (see attached images)
-1.39 - (-1.3) : -1.4 - (-1.3) = x - 0.0968 : 0.0808 - 0.0968
-0.09 : -0.1 = x - 0.0968 : -0.016
x - 0.0968 = -0.09(-0.016)/-0.1
x = -0.0144 + 0.0968
x = 0.0824
x = 0.0824
Hence, the probability that a student taking this test will finish in 100 minutes or less is 0.0824 or 8.24%.
