Each field trip boxed lunch for Mrs. Patel’s class will come with one of five different pieces of fruit: apple, banana, grapes, orange, or peach. Using the line of the random number table shown to do a simulation and assigning 2 or 3 for banana, what is the probability a boxed lunch will have a banana?

Line 20 82244 34392 96607 17220 51984 10753 76272 50985 97593 34320
A.
16%

B.
18%

C.
20%

D.
28%

Explanation:

The line of the random number table shows a total of ten 5-digit random numbers. That is a total of 50 digits.

The digits 2 and 3 represent a banana fruit. The other digits represent the other fruits.

1. Count the number of 2 and 3 in the ten random numbers from the line of the random number table:

2. Probability is the number of positive outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

answer: 590

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
