Answer:

Discrete(b,c and d)

Continuous (a and e)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Discrete</u>

Discrete Random variables are variables that can only take on integer values. Therefore the following are discrete variables.

b. The number of fish caught during a fishing tournament. e.g. 6 fishes

c. The number of statistics students now reading a book. e.g. 12 Students

d. The number of textbook authors now sitting at a computer. e.g. 9 Authors

<u>Continuous</u>

Continuous random variables can take on an uncountable number of values.

a. The time it takes for a light bulb to burn out. e.g.178.897 seconds

e. The height of a randomly selected giraffe. e,g 16.67 feet

A football quarterback enjoys practicing his long passes over 40 yards. He misses the first pass 40% of the time. When he misses
laila [671]

Answer:

Probability of missing two passes in a row is 0.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

Event E = A football player misses twice in a row.

P(E) = ?

Event X = Football player misses the first pass

P(X) = 0.4

Event Y = Football player misses just after he first miss

P(Y) = 0.2

Both the events are exclusive so the probability of occuring of these two events can be calculated by the formula:

P(E) = P(X).P(Y)

P(E) = 0.4*0.2

P(E) = 0.08

The function f(x)=-10(x)(x-4) represents the approximate height of a projectile launch on the ground into the air as a function
ELEN [110]

Answer:

4 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x)=-10(x)(x-4) ........ (1), represents the approximate height of a projectile launch on the ground into the air as a function of time in seconds x.

Now, we are asked that for how long from the launch does the projectile stays in the air.

Therefore, we have to solve the equation (1) making f(x) as zero.

Hence, 10x(x - 4) = 0

⇒ x = 0 or x = 4

(As x can not be zero since at x = 0 sec, the projectile was at the ground.}

Hence, x = 4 seconds.

Therefore, the projectile was in the air for 4 seconds. (Answer)

ruslelena [56]
Let the number of hamburgers sold be "h" and the number of cheeseburgers be "2h" as it was two time as the humbugers .form equation frome it '2h+h=387".comp the like terms which gives you 3h=387 divide each side by 3 which gives you h=129 which is equal to the number hambyrgers .multiply 129 by 2 to get the number of cheeseburgers which is 258
