Answer:

For this particular case they are interested on the amount of weight gained by randomly selecting some students, we need to remember that the weight can't be a discrete random variable since this random variable can take values on a specified interval and with decimals, so for this case the best conclusion is that we have  a continuous data set.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

We need to remember that continuous random variable mans that the values are specified over an interval in the domain, so is possible to have decimal values for the possible outcomes of the random variable.

By the other hand a discrete random variable only can take integers for the possible outcomes of the random variable over the specified domain.

Solution to the problem

For this particular case they are interested on the amount of weight gained by randomly selecting some students, we need to remember that the weight can't be a discrete random variable since this random variable can take values on a specified interval and with decimals, so for this case the best conclusion is that we have  a continuous data set.

If f(x) = -7x+2 and g(x) = square root of x+3,<br> what is (fºg)(-2)?
Degger [83]

Answer:

(fog)(-2)=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x)= -7x+2

and

g(x)= √(x+3)

For finding (fog)(-2), we have to find (fog)(x) first

In order to find (fog)(x) we will put the value of g(x) in f(x) in place of x.

(fog)(x)= -7g(x)+2

Putting the value of g(x)  

(fog)(x)= -7√(x+3)+2

We have to find (fog)(-2), so we have to put at the place of x in the composition

(fog)(-2)= -7√(-2+3)+2

(fog)(-2)= -7√1+2

= -7(1)+2

= -7+2

=-5

So,

(fog)(-2)=-5
