Marlene lives in a building where half the residents live on the first floor and half live on the second floor. She wants to est
imate the probability that, out of 3 randomly selected residents, 1 or 2 live on the first floor.
She uses a coin to conduct a simulation, by letting H represent someone living on the first floor and T represent someone living on the second floor and then flipping the coin three times. She repeats this process for a total of 15 trials. The results are shown in the table.
Estimated probability that 1 or 2 of 3 randomly selected residents live on the first floor: ________
A.1/2
B.1/6
C.5/6
D.5/12

Answer:
- 3 or 1 positive real zeros
- 0 negative real zeros
Step-by-step explanation:
The signs of the coefficients of the given terms are ...
+ - + -
There are three sign changes, so the number of positive real zeros is 3 or 1.
When odd-degree terms have their signs changed, the signs become ...
- - - -
There are no sign changes, hence no negative real zeros.
_____
A graph confirms this evaluation.
