Answer:

Continuous random variables: c and e

Discrete random variables: a, b, d  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to identify whether the random variable is discrete or continuous.

  • A discrete variable is a variable whose value is obtained by counting.
  • A continuous random variable X takes all values in a given interval of numbers.
  • Thus, a continuous variable can have values in decimals but a discrete random variable cannot take values in decimals.

a. The number of statistics students now reading a book.

Discrete random variable since number of students cannot take decimal values.

b. The number of textbook authors now sitting at a computer.

Discrete random variable since number of textbooks cannot be expressed in decimals but counted.

c. The exact time it takes to evaluate 27 plus 72.

It is a continuous random variable as it may take all values within an interval of time.

d. The number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is made.

It is a discrete random variable since the number of throws can always be whole number.

e. The time it takes to fly from City Upper A to City Upper B.

Time is a continuous random variable.

Explanation: “The distributive property is where a number or value is distributed into a whole equation. Based on the work below as you can see I “distributed” 5 to (3m+4n) meaning I multiplied 5&3m and 5&4n, when I multiply 5&3 that give me 15, and when I multiply 5&4 that gives me 20. So when finally simplified my new equation is 15m+20n”

Make sure when you is the distributive property that you always add the variables because it will be wrong.

TEA [102]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve:<br> 2 3/4 −(−1 1/2 )+(− 5/6 )−(− 3/8)−(+4 2/3 )<br> PLS HELP!
neonofarm [45]

Answer: -7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to find a common denominator for all of them

in this case it would be 24

2 18/24 -(- 1 12/24) + (-20/24) -(-9/24) - (+ 4 16/24)

2 18/24 + 1 12/24 - 20/24 + 9/24 - 4 16/24

4 6/24 - 20/24 + 9/24 - 4 16/24

3 10/24 + 9/24 - 4 16/24

3 19/24 - 4 16/24

- 21/24

-7/8
