Choose the correct answer below.
A. It would not be unusual because the probability of having no HD televisions is more than 0.05.
B. It would not be unusual because 52 people have no HD televisions in the town. C. It would be unusual because 52 people have no HD televisions in the town.

Complex numbersUse the given zero to find the remaining zeros of each polynomial function.
P(x) = x³ + 14x² + x + 14;
Step 1
Recall the Conjugate Pair Theorem.
If a + bi (b ≠ 0) is a complex zero of a polynomial function with real coefficients, then the conjugate is also a complex zero of the polynomial function.
We now consider the given P(x). Because the coefficients are real numbers and - is a given zero, the Conjugate Pair Theorem implies that ___also must be a zero.
