<span>Leah,  Let x=Blair's fish and 2x= Jay's fish; yet together they caught 27 fish.  So, x + 2x=27;  Combine the like terms.  So, 3x=27;  Now divide both sides of the equation by 3, therefore, x=9 which is the amt of fish Blair caught.  So, 2(9)=18 is the amt of fish Jay caught.  Check:  9 +2(9)=27;  27=27.</span>

Temka [501]

Answer:

The answer is Discrete Random Variable

Step-by-step explanation:

A random variable is considered discrete if its possible values are countable.

In our case,

In a basketball game, for example, it is only possible for a team's score to be a whole number—no fractions or decimals are allowed, and so the score is discrete.

A good rule of thumb is this: if the variable you're measuring has to be rounded before it's written down, then it's continuous. If no rounding is necessary, as with anything that's countable, then it's discrete.
