<u>Complete Question</u>

The usher at a wedding asked each of the 80 guests whether they were a friend of the bride or of the groom. The results are: 59 for Bride, 50 for Groom, 30 for both. Find the probability that a randomly selected person from this sample was a friend of the bride OR of the groom.

Answer:

0.9875

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of Guests which forms the Sample Space, n(S)=80

Let the Event (a friend of the bride) =A

Let the Event (a friend of the groom) =B

n(A) =59

n(B)=50

Friends of both bride and groom, n(A \cap B)=30

Therefore:

n(A \cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A \cap B)\\n(A \cup B)=59+50-30\\n(A \cup B)=79

The number of Guests who was a friend of the bride OR of the groom = 79

Therefore:

The probability that a randomly selected person from this sample was a friend of the bride OR of the groom.

P(A \cup B) =\dfrac{n(A \cup B) }{n(S)} \\\\=\dfrac{79 }{80}\\\\=0.9875

Which polynomial function could be represented by the graph below?
Svetllana [295]

Note that

1.

f(x)=x^3+x^2-6x=x(x^2+x-6)=x(x-2)(x+3)

The x-intercepts are at points x=-3, x=0, x=2. The graph should be increasing - decreasing - increasing.

2.

f(x)=x^3-x^2-6x=x(x^2-x-6)=x(x+2)(x-3)

The x-intercepts are at points x=-2, x=0, x=3. The graph should be increasing - decreasing - increasing.

3.

f(x)=-2x^3-2x^2+12x=-2x(x^2+x-6)=-2x(x-2)(x+3)

The x-intercepts are at points x=-3, x=0, x=2. The graph should be decreasing - increasing - decreasing.

4.

f(x)=-2x^3+x^2+12x=-2x(x^2-x-6)=-2x(x+2)(x-3)

The x-intercepts are at points x=-2, x=0, x=3. The graph should be decreasing - increasing - decreasing.

From the diagram you can see that x-intercepts are at points x=-3, x=0, x=2 and the graph is   decreasing-increasing-decreasing.

Answer: correct choice is 3.
