<h3>Answer: B) The time to complete a specific task.</h3>

For any two different time values, it is possible to find the midpoint or average of them. For instance, if it takes 10 minutes to do the task on Monday, and then 11 minutes to do the task on Tuesday, then it takes (10+11)/2 = 21/2 = 11.5 minutes to do the task on average. Because we are able to find a midpoint like this, and a decimal midpoint makes sense, this means time is a continuous variable.

In contrast, the number of new hires must be a whole number. If we had 10 hires on Monday and 11 hires on Tuesday, then it doesn't make sense to say we hired 11.5 people. So choice A is ruled out. Similar situations play out with choices C and D, which is why we can rule those out too. Choices A, C and D are discrete variables.

HELP WILL GIVE 15 POINTS <br>what is the range of this function and pls explain

Nataly [62]

Answer:

$f(x)\geq -2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Range corresponds to the values of y on the y-axis. If we see the graph the minimum value of the y-coordinate is -2 and then it tends to increase from it. We do not know till where the y values will increase in the figure it shows 6 but it's still actually increasing we keep on tracing the graph but the minimum value will always remain the same which is -2 . So we can say that the range of the function is

$f(x)\geq -2\\$

Where f(x) is the function and since the values of y on the y-axis increase from -2 we can say that the function has the range of values greater than or equal to -2

The volume of the container is 5969 cm³. The correct option is D. 5,969 cm³

<h3>Calculating Volume </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the volume of the container

Volume of the container = Volume of the cone - Volume of the small cone

The volume of a cone is given by the formula,

V = 1/3πr²h

Where V is the volume

r is the radius

and h is the height

From the given information,

For the small cone,

Diameter = 10 cm

∴ Radius, r = 10cm/ 2 = 5 cm

h = 6 cm

For the big cone

diameter = diameter of the container = 30 cm

∴ Radius = 30cm/ 2

Radius = 15cm

h = height of small cone + height of container

h = 6 cm + 20 cm

h = 26 cm

Putting the parameters into

Volume of the container = Volume of the cone - Volume of the small cone

We get,

Volume of the container = 1/3π × 15² ×26 - 1/3π × 5² × 6

Volume of the container = 1/3π (15² ×26 - 5² × 6)

Volume of the container = 1/3π (5850 - 150)

Volume of the container = 1/3π (5700)

Volume of the container = 1/3 × π × 5700

Volume of the container = 5969.026 cm³

Volume of the container ≈ 5969 cm³

Hence, the volume of the container is 5969 cm³. The correct option is D. 5,969 cm³
