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

Which equation represents a line parallel to the line shown on the graph? On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (0, 8) and
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

  • B) y = negative 4 x + three

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Find the slope of the line that goes through (0, 8) and (2, 0):</u>

  • m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
  • m = (0 - 8) / (2 - 0) = -8/2 = -4

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

<u>Looking at the choices we see only one of them has the slope of  -4:</u>

  • y = -4x + 3

A train travels 4.4 miles in
Ugo [173]

Answer:

63.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If the train travels 4.4 miles in 4 minutes, then you have to divide 4.4/4 to find the miles the train travels per minute.

4.4/4 = 1.1

So, since the train travels 1.1 miles per minute, and we want to know how fast it travels in 58 minutes, we have to multiply 1.1 by 58. Since 1.1 is a decimal number, we have to multiply both sides by 10 to get 11x580.

11x580 = 5800+ 580 = 6380

Since we multiplied both numbers by 10, we have to divide 6380 by 100.

6380/100 = 63.8

So, the train travels 63.8 miles in 58 minutes.
