Obtaining Polynomials: Probability & Ways

In summary, there are infinitely many ways to obtain a polynomial from a set of coefficients in the interval [0,1]. Similarly, there are infinitely many ways to obtain an even polynomial. The probability of obtaining P(1,1,1)=0 is 0, as there are infinitely many possible combinations but only one will result in 0. However, if the coefficients are limited to only 0 and 1, the probability may change.

In how many ways can obtain polynomial from
[PLAIN]http://im3.gulfup.com/2011-05-05/1304543619801.gif

notes that c any coffieceints is in{0.1}
also in how many ways can obtain even ploynomials?whats the probability that we can obtain P(1,1,1)=0

there infinitely many polynomials of that form; since there are infinitely many possibilities for choosing a single coefficient between 0 and 1. and you have to choose a bunch of them.
in an even polynomial, the coefficients of odd powers are 0, still you would have bunch of coefficients which don't need to be 0 and can be chosen at random. by the same argument as above, there are infinitely many even polynomials of that form.
if x=y=z=1, then the equation would be just a sum of a number of random numbers, all between 0 and 1. there are infinitely many possible combnations; but the only one which will give 0, is that all of the coeffcients are 0. so, the probability that P(1,1,1)=0 is
1/infinity=0.
after writing the answer I realized that maybe you don't mean the interval between 0 and 1 but only 0 and 1, was that your question?
 

What is a polynomial?

A polynomial is a mathematical expression that consists of variables, coefficients, and exponents. It can be written in the form of ax^n + bx^(n-1) + ... + cx^2 + dx + e, where a, b, c, d, and e are constants and n is a positive integer.

How do you obtain a polynomial from a given probability distribution?

To obtain a polynomial from a probability distribution, you can use the method of moments. This involves equating the theoretical moments of the distribution (such as mean, variance, skewness, etc.) with the corresponding sample moments. The resulting equations can then be solved to find the coefficients of the polynomial.

What are some common ways of obtaining polynomials?

Aside from using the method of moments, polynomials can also be obtained through interpolation, curve fitting, and regression analysis. These methods involve finding the best-fit polynomial that approximates a given set of data points.

Why are polynomials useful in probability and statistics?

Polynomials are useful in probability and statistics because they can be used to model and describe complex distributions. They provide a general framework for representing relationships between variables and can be manipulated algebraically to solve various problems.

What are some real-life applications of obtaining polynomials in probability and statistics?

Some real-life applications of obtaining polynomials in probability and statistics include predicting stock prices, analyzing market trends, and forecasting future data. Polynomials are also used in fields such as physics, engineering, and economics to model and solve problems.
