#1
The factors of hhh correspond directly to the zeros of hhh.

Hint #2

\qquad \begin{aligned} h(t)=&(t-8)^1(t-4)^2(t-2)^3(t-1)^4 \end{aligned}

h(t)=

(t−8)

(t−4)

(t−2)

(t−1)

The distinct zeros of hhh are 888, 444, 222, and 111. Distinct zeros means that we list each zero once.

Hint #3
hhh has 444 distinct zeros.

The table above gives data about a group of students by whether or not they enrolled in college in the
year following high school graduation and whether they were the first, second, or third child born in
their family. How many first-born students in the study would need to enroll in college following high
school graduation in order to provide evidence that being a first-born is independent of college
enrollment?

Choose 1 answer:

440440440 first-born students

621621621 first-born students

850850850 first-born students

149514951495 first-born students

Hint #1

When two events are independent, the probability of one happening in no way affects the probability
of the other happening.

In this case, that means that a person has the same probability of being a first-born student whether
or not the person has enrolled in college after graduation.

Overall, 129012901290 out of 344134413441 of the participants were first-borns.

=0.375
=0.375⋅2268
=850.5

We keep in mind that in any sample, we should expect the probability to vary slightly from the
theoretical probability, so minor rounding is acceptable.
Hint #3
If approximately 850850850 first-born students enrolled in college after graduation, it would suggest
evidence of independence of the events.

This image is a dot plot with percentages of labor force in agriculture plotted on a scale from 0 to 100
in increments of 5. 2 dots are plotted above 0, 4 dots above 5, 3 dots above 15, 1 dot above 20, 1 dot
above 25, 1 dot above 40, 1 dot above 45, 1 dot above 55, and 1 dot above 80.
For each of the 151515 countries in the Middle East, the percentage of the labor force in agriculture
was recorded to the nearest 555 percent. This data is shown in the dot plot above. Based on the shape
of the data, which of the following correctly compares the mean and the median?
Choose 1 answer:
The mean is less than the median.
The mean is greater than the median.
The mean is equal to the median.
There is not enough information to compare the mean and the median.
Hint #1
There are a number of outliers on the right side of the graph, but not on the left side.
Hint #2
The outliers will cause the mean to increase significantly.
Hint #3
The outliers will cause the median to increase, but not significantly.
Hint #4
The mean is greater than the median.
