Answer:

A random variable in statistics can be loosely defined as a variable whose values depend on the outcome of a random phenomenon. These variables are variables that can be the results of an experiment not yet performed, or the results of an already performed experiment whose already existing result is uncertain.

A discrete random variable is finite and has a countable range of values.

A continuous random variable takes on numerical values in an interval of values and has no countable range of value.

a. The number of light bulbs that burn out in the next year in a room with 19 bulbs--- discrete random variable

b. The usual mode of transportation of people in City Upper A---

not a random variable

c. The number of statistics students now doing their homework --- discrete random variable

d. The number of home runs in a baseball game --- discrete random variable

e. The exact time it takes to evaluate 67 plus 29 --- continuous random variable

f. The height of a randomly selected person--- continuous random variable

Answer:

a. The number of light bulbs that burn out in the next year in a room with 19 bulbs: is a discrete random variable.

b. The usual mode of transportation of people in City Upper A: is not a random variable because its outcome isn't numerical.

c. The number of statistics students now doing their homework: is a discrete random variable.

d. The number of home runs in a baseball game: is a discrete random variable.

e. The exact time it takes to evaluate 67 plus 29: is a continuous random variable.

f. The height of a randomly selected person: is a continuous random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random variable often used in statistics and probability, is a variable that has its possible values as numerical outcomes of a random experiment or phenomenon. It is usually denoted by a capital letter, such as X.

In statistics and probability, random variables are either continuous or discrete.

1. A continuous random variable is a variable that has its possible values as an infinite value, meaning it cannot be counted.

Example are the height of a randomly selected person, time it take to move from Texas to New York city, etc.

2. A discrete random variable is a variable that has its possible values as a finite value, meaning it can be counted.

Examples are the number of light bulbs that burn out in the next year in a room with 19 bulbs, the number of chicken in a district etc.

classify each angle pair using all the names that apply using the diagram on the left , answering 1 2 3 4 and 5 , explain why.(

vredina [299]

Answer:

see the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Two angles that sum to 90° are complementary, whether they are adjacent or not. Angles LMN and NMP are also adjacent.

2. Vertical angles created by two distinct lines are never adjacent. The sides of the angles are created by the same lines, and the angles share a vertex, but there is no ray that is a side common to both angles.

3. Angle GMK is supplementary to angle JMG.

4. Vertical angles are congruent. See question 2.

5. See question 1.

How do I solve: 2 sin (2x) - 2 sin x + 2√3 cos x - √3 = 0

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

$\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} +k\, \pi$ or $\displaystyle x =- \frac{\pi}{3} +2\,k\, \pi$ , where $k$ is an integer.

There are three such angles between $0$ and $2\pi$ : $\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{3}$ , $\displaystyle \frac{2\, \pi}{3}$ , and $\displaystyle \frac{4\,\pi}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

By the double angle identity of sines:

$\sin(2\, x) = 2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x$ .

Rewrite the original equation with this identity:

$2\, (2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x) - 2\, \sin x + 2\sqrt{3}\, \cos x - \sqrt{3} = 0$ .

Note, that $2\, (2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x)$ and $(-2\, \sin x)$ share the common factor $(2\, \sin x)$ . On the other hand, $2\sqrt{3}\, \cos x$ and $(-\sqrt{3})$ share the common factor $\sqrt[3}$ . Combine these terms pairwise using the two common factors:

$(2\, \sin x) \cdot (2\, \cos x - 1) + \left(\sqrt{3}\right)\, (2\, \cos x - 1) = 0$ .

Note the new common factor $(2\, \cos x - 1)$ . Therefore:

$\left(2\, \sin x + \sqrt{3}\right) \cdot (2\, \cos x - 1) = 0$ .

This equation holds as long as either $\left(2\, \sin x + \sqrt{3}\right)$ or $(2\, \cos x - 1)$ is zero. Let $k$ be an integer. Accordingly:

$\displaystyle \sin x = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ , which corresponds to $\displaystyle x = -\frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi$ and $\displaystyle x = -\frac{2\, \pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi$ .
$\displaystyle \cos x = \frac{1}{2}$ , which corresponds to $\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi$ and $\displaystyle x = -\frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi$ .

Any $x$ that fits into at least one of these patterns will satisfy the equation. These pattern can be further combined:

$\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + k \, \pi$ (from $\displaystyle x = -\frac{2\,\pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi$ and $\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi$ , combined,) as well as
$\displaystyle x =- \frac{\pi}{3} +2\,k\, \pi$ .

Which would the phrase "two times the quotient of a number and 3" look like as a variable expression?

Naya [18.7K]

2 n/3 would be the closest answer although it looks as if the 2 is supposed to be multiplied by n/3 which would lead me to write it as 2(n/3)
