Answer:

B. The variable is continuous because it is not countable.

Correct, from the definition about of continuous data we see that is a random variable is continuous then it can't be countable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A discrete random variable "has a countable number of possible values" in a domain defined. So then the possible values for these types of random variables are the integers.

A continuous is a random variable "where the data can take infinitely many values" that means that can take values from the rational with decimals. Ans is not countable.

Solution to the problem

Let's analyze one by one the possible options:

A. The variable is discrete because it is countable.

False, the depth of the ocean is a continuous random variable since we can have for exampe a depth of 1200.56 mi and we can't express this as a discrete random variable.

B. The variable is continuous because it is not countable.

Correct, from the definition about of continuous data we see that is a random variable is continuous then it can't be countable.

C. The variable is discrete because it is not countable.

False, the depth of the ocean is a continuous random variable since we can have for exampe a depth of 504.67 Km and we can't express this as a discrete random variable.

D. The variable is continuous because it is countable.

False the variable is continuous but cannot be countable since that's the opposite from the definition of continuous random variable.

Use the unit circle to find all values of thetabetween 0 and 2Ï€ for which sin(theta)=sqrt 3/2
ElenaW [278]
Sin(theta)=√3/2, 0≤theta≤360
In a unit circle, sin is y/r, r is always positive, y is positive in the first and second quadrant only. 
sin60=√3/2, sin120=√3/2
so theta is 60 or 120

Model rocket is launched from a raised platform at a speed of 176 feet per second. Its height in feet is given by h(t)=-16t^2+17
Marat540 [252]
<span><span>The first step is to find the vertex. You do this by using the formula </span>\frac{-b}{2a}. 
<span>
Plug in b and a into the equation: </span>\frac{-176}{2(-16)}
<span>
You get </span>5.5<span>

So, it takes 5.5 seconds to get to 504 feet

- a(-4-5a) - 3a(2 + a) =
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

(−a)(−4 − 5a) − 3a(2 + a)

Distribute:

= (−a)(−4) + (−a)(−5a) + −3a^2 + −6a

= 4a + 5a^2 + −3a^2 + −6a

Combine Like Terms:

= 4a+5a^2 + −3a^2+ −6a

= (5a2+ −3a^2) + (4a + −6a)

= 2a2 + −2a

Final Answer:

= 2a^2−2a!
