(x + 3) is a factor of the polynomial x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x + n.
What is the value of n?

n = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given (x + h) is a factor of a polynomial f(x) then f(- h) = 0

Here

f(x) = x³ + 2x² - 5x + n and (x + 3) is a factor then f(- 3) = 0 , that is

f(- 3) = (- 3)³ + 2(- 3)² - 5(- 3) + n = 0 , so

- 27 + 2(9) + 15 + n = 0

- 27 + 18 + 15 + n = 0

6 + n = 0 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

n = - 6

probability for j is 1/4

while

a is 1/6
