Answer:

a) 0.152 = 15.2% probability that this person is a female who engages in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour.

b) 0.248 = 24.8% probability that this person is a female who does not engage in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

20% of employees engage in physical exercise.

This 20% is composed by:

8% of 60%(males)

x% of 100 - 60 = 40%(females).

Then, x is given by:

0.08*0.6 + 0.4x = 0.2

0.4x = 0.2 - 0.08*0.6

x = \frac{0.2 - 0.08*0.6}{0.4}

x = 0.38

0.38 = 38%

Probability of being a female who engages in exercise:

40% are female, 38% of 40% engage in exercise. So

0.38*0.4 = 0.152

0.152 = 15.2% probability that this person is a female who engages in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour.

B. If we choose an employee at random from this corporation,what is the probability that this person is a female who does not engage in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour?

40% are female, 100% - 38% = 62% of 40% do not engage in exercise. So

0.62*0.4 = 0.248

0.248 = 24.8% probability that this person is a female who does not engage in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour.

Answer:

The polynomial will be P(x) = - 5 (x + 2)²(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of the polynomial P(x) is 3 and it has zeros at x = - 2 with multiplicity 2 and at x = 3 with multiplicity 1.

Therefore, (x + 2)² and (x - 3) are the factors of the equation.

Let the polynomial is

P(x) = a(x + 2)²(x - 3) ........... (1)

Now, the polynomial passes through the point (2,80).

So, from equation (1) we gat,

80 = a(4)²(-1)

⇒ a = - 5

Therefore, the polynomial will be P(x) = - 5 (x + 2)²(x - 3) (Answer)
