Answer: D. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.

Step-by-step explanation: When distinguishing between quantitative variables, they could be classed as either discreet or continuous. This difference between a discreet and continuous variable lies in whether the variable has a finite number of values or not. When a variable can only take up a certain number of values usually while numbers within a certain interval, then such varibak eis said to be finite. On the other hand variables which can take up any value within an interval are said to be continuous as they can take up an uncountable number of values within an interval. When weight is being recorded, it could take up an infinite number of values including decimal within an interval making it difficult to ascertain the number of possible values within the interval.

What is the probability a day in the 70s is a Monday?
Degger [83]

Answer:

a) Probability of a day with temperature in the 70s = 0%

b) The set of the intersection of Tuesdays and days with temperature in the 80s is an empty or null set.

c) Probability an observation picked at random is both a Sunday and more than 90 degrees

= 0.10 = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The table of data for this question was obtained online and attached to this solution

Note that the probability of an event is defined as the number of elements in that event divided by the Total number of elements in the sample space.

a) What is the probability a day in the 70s is a Monday?

Of the days with temperature in the 70s (only one day, which is a Sunday), none of them are Mondays, hence, the probability of a day with temperature in the 70s being a Monday is 0%.

b) Which set forms the intersection of Tuesdays in the 80s?

Acvording to the data available, the set of Tuesdays with temperatures in the 80s is an empty set. Hence, this set is a null set.

c) What is the probability an observation picked at random is both a Sunday and more than 90 degrees?

The number of Sundays with temperature more than 90 degrees = 3

The total number of observations available = 30

Probability an observation picked at random is both a Sunday and more than 90 degrees = (3/30) = 0.10 = 10%

The number of outcomes possible from flipping each coin is 2, therefore;

  • The expression that can be used to find the number of outcomes for flipping 4 coins is: 2•2•2•2

<h3>How can the expression for the number of combinations be found?</h3>

The possible outcome of flipping 4 coins is given by the sum of the possible combinations of outcomes as follows;

The number of possible outcome from flipping the first coin = 2 (heads or tails)

The outcomes from flipping the second coin = 2

The outcome from flipping the third coin = 2

The outcome from flipping the fourth coin = 2

The combined outcome is therefore;

Outcome from flipping the 4 coins = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

The correct option is therefore;

  • 2•2•2•2

How to find the area of a segment of a circle if r=8 and central angle =120 degrees. Please explain clearly and thoroughly. Will
bekas [8.4K]
First you need to find the area of the circle, which is πr^2
With a radius of 8 inches, the area of the circle will be π*8^2 or 64π.
Next you want to find the area of the 120 degree section of that circle.
120 degrees is 1/3 of a circle, so all you have to do next is multiply the are of the circle by 1/3 (because 360/120= 1/3).
(1/3)(64π) --> All you really have to do here is multiply 64 by 1/3 or divide it by 3 (because to divide by a number is the same a multiplying by it's reciprocal) so you get (64/3)(π).
64/3 is 21 and 1/3 or 21.333..., so however you choose to write it, I will leave the answer as (64/3)π squared inches.

(y+3):(y+5)=k:1<br><br> show that y=(5k-3)/(1-k)<br><br> hence y=(5k-2)/(1-k)
luda_lava [24]

hi,

Express the ratios in fractional form, that is

= ( cross- multiply )

y + 3 = k(y + 5) ← distribute

y + 3 = ky + 5k ( subtract ky from both sides )

y - ky + 3 = 5k ( subtract 3 from both sides )

y - ky = 5k - 3 ← factor out y from each term on the left side

y(1 - k) = 5k - 3 ← divide both sides by (1 - k)

y = 5k- 3

____

1 - k
