As a rule of thumb, a discrete random variable is countable.
A continuous random variable is measurable but not countable.

a. Discrete
The number of hits to a website is countable.

b. Continuous
The weight of a T-bone steak is measurable.

c. Discrete
The political party affiliations of adults are countable.

d. Discrete
The number of bald eagles in a country is countable.

e. Continuous
The amount of snowfall in December is measurable.

f. Discrete
The number of textbook authors is countable.

Help please:))

Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) Because this asks about the radius and height, I assume that we are talking about a cylinder shape.

Remember that for a cylinder of radius R and height H the volume is:

V = pi*R^2*H

And the surface will be:

S = 2*pi*R*H + pi*R^2

where pi = 3.14

Here we know that the volume is 1000cm^3, then:

1000cm^3 = pi*R^2*H

We can rewrite this as:

(1000cm^3)/pi = R^2*H

Now we can isolate H to get:

H = (1000cm^3)/(pi*R^2)

Replacing that in the surface equation, we get:

S = 2*pi*R*H + pi*R^2

S = 2*pi*R*(1000cm^3)/(pi*R^2) + pi*R^2

S = 2*(1000cm^3)/R + pi*R^2

So we want to minimize this.

Then we need to find the zeros of S'

S' = dS/dR = -(2000cm^3)/R^2 + 2*pi*R = 0

So we want to find R such that:

2*pi*R = (2000cm^3)/R^2

2*pi*R^3 = 2000cm^3

R^3 = (2000cm^3/2*3.14)

R = ∛(2000cm^3/2*3.14) = 6.83 cm

The radius that minimizes the surface is R = 6.83 cm

With the equation:

H = (1000cm^3)/(pi*R^2)

We can find the height:

H = (1000cm^3)/(3.14*(6.83 cm)^2) = 6.83 cm

(so the height is equal to the radius)

b) The surface equation is:

S = 2*pi*R*H + pi*R^2

replacing the values of H and R we get:

S = 2*3.14*(6.83 cm)*(6.83 cm) + 3.14*(6.83 cm)^2 = 439.43 cm^2

c) Because if we pack cylinders, there is a lot of space between the cylinders, so when you store it, there will be a lot of space that is not used and that can't be used for other things.

Similarly for transport problems, for that dead space, you would need more trucks to transport your ice cream packages.

Two consecutive odd numbers total 32. Find the smaller.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 32 by 2 you will get 16, therefore if you take the number before 16 and the number after 16 and add them together they will still equal 32. 15 + 17 = 32. The smaller number is 15.

Sam has 15 identical rectangular windows in his home. The length of each window is twice the width, and the area of each window

marshall27 [118]

The answe would be 300 because, the perimeter of the windows is 12, then you have to multiply 25 to 12 then bam you get 300, yay!
