Leshonda had been working at her job for almost twenty years. She felt like she worked overtime more often than not (more than 50% of the time) and deserved a raise, so she randomly selected 50 paychecks (each for one week of work) and found that she had worked overtime in 32 of those weeks. Use a TI-83, TI-83 plus, or TI-84 calculator to test whether Leshonda worked overtime more often than not. Identify the p-value, rounding to three decimal places.

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!
