At a college, 72% of courses have final exams and 46% of courses require research papers. Suppose that 31% of courses have a res
earch paper and a final exam. Find the probability that a course has a final exam or a research paper.
1 answer:
Answer:
0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
72% of courses have final exams and 46% of courses require research papers which means probability of 0.72 for courses that have final exams and 0.46 for courses that require research papers.
31% of courses have a research paper and a final exam, which means probability of 0.31 for both courses with exams and research papers, using Venn diagram approach, find picture attached to the solution.
P(R or E) = P(R) + P(E) - P(R and E), which gives:
P(R or E) = 0.15 + 0.41 - 0.31
P(R or E) = 0.25.

Now, recall Descartes Rule of Signs. Check the picture below.
the +x part, gives us the positive Real zeros, and it depends on how many times the sign changes from term to term, notice in the picture, it changed 3 times, so the positive real ones are 3, or 3-2, namely 1, so 3 or 1.
the negative real ones, come from using -x as the argument on f(x), and as you can see in the picture, there was only 1 sign change, meaning the negative real zeros are only 1.
since, based on the fundamental theorem of algebra the polynomial has 4 roots at most then,
3 positive real ones, and 1 negative real one, no complex ones
or
1 positive real one, and 1 negative real one, and 2 complex ones
bear in mind that complex always come in pairs, never alone.
