What is the difference between discrete vs continuous data

Mathematics
1 answer:

With continuous data, it is possible to find the midpoint of any two distinct values. For instance, if h = height of tree, then its possible to find the middle height of h = 10 and h = 7 (which in this case is h = 8.5)

On the other hand, discrete data can't be treated the same way (eg: if n = number of people, then there is no midpoint between n = 3 and n = 4). 

-------------------------------------

With that in mind, we have the following answers

1) Continuous data. Time values are always continuous. Any two distinct time values can be averaged to find the midpoint

2) Continuous data. Like time values, temperatures can be averaged as well. 

3) Discrete data. Place locations in a race or competition are finite and we can't have midpoints. We can't have a midpoint between 9th and 10th place for instance.

4) Continuous data. We can find the midpoint and it makes sense to do so when it comes to speeds. 

5) Discrete data. This is a finite number and countable. We cannot have 20.5 freshman for instance.

Factor x^2-2x-4 PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY!!! I WILL GIVE POINTS!!! DBA IS TODAY!!!!
Thepotemich [5.8K]

To factor x²-2x-4, you are looking to answer three questions.

1) What pair of numbers multiplies to 4?

2) What pair of numbers multiplies to 1?

3) Do these pairs when multiplied together, add/subtract to the middle term?

To answer (1), our pairs are 2 and 2, 4 and 1. Since there's a negative with 4 at the end (from question one), the signs will be opposite.

To answer (2), only pair multiplies to 1 - 1 and 1. Let's try both pairs from 1.

(x-4)(x+1) The middle term here is -3x. Nope.

(x-1)(x+4). The middle term here is 3x. Nope.

(x-2)(x+2) The middle term is 0x (or no middle term). Nope.

So x²-2x-4 does not factor.

A dress listed from $119 is discounted 25%. What is the sale price of the dress including a 7 1/2 state sales tax?
Daniel [21]
If it is discounted 25%, then u r actually paying 75%

0.75(119) = 89.25 (without tax)

sales tax = 7 1/2% = 7.5% = 0.075
89.25(1.075) = $ 95.94 <===
