A discrete variable is a variable which may take only certain discrete values; for example the number of people in a household is a discrete variable which may have the value 1, 2, 3, etc. but cannot have intermediate values such as 1.473 or 3.732.
Choice d) can be represented by a discrete probability distribution, the other choices cannot be so represented.

The table shows the heights in inches of trees after they have been planted. Determine the equation which relates x and y.
fenix001 [56]
To get the that relates x and y, we choose two points on the table and use the equation of a straight line as follows:

Recall that the equation of a staight line is obtained from the formula
\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Using the points (30, 18) and (36, 24), we have
\frac{y-18}{x-30} = \frac{24-18}{36-30}= \frac{6}{6} =1 \\  \\ \Rightarrow y-18=x-30 \\  \\ \Rightarrow y=x-30+18 \\  \\ \Rightarrow y=x-12

A skydiver is falling 176 feet per second. How many feet per minute is he falling
Vlada [557]
The correct answer here is that if the skydiver is falling 176 feet per second, he is falling 10560 feet per minute. This can be worked out quite easily, by considering that if there are 60 seconds in a minute, we then need to work out the proportion of 176 feet/1 sec = x/60 sec. You then need to multiply 60 by 176 to get 10560, which is your answer.

Tony spent $60.54 and bought 3 packs of notebooks and a calculator. How much does a pack of notebooks cost if a calculator costs
statuscvo [17]
Well, if the notebooks cost x, then you know that
3x + 45.87 = 60.54
right? so, solve for x. 60.54 - 45.87 = 14.67
Divide the difference by 3.

You are applying fertilizer to a football field. The field is 360 feet long and 160 feet wide. You use 8 pounds of fertilizer pe
Assoli18 [71]

Answer: 10 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must calculate the field area. Assuming it is a rectangle then its area equals the product of its length times its width

A =360*160\\\\A = 57600 ft^2

You use 8 pounds of fertilizer per 1,000 square feet

So the amount of fertilizer you should use is:

57,600 ft^2 * \frac{8\ pounds}{1,000\ ft^2} = 460.8\ pounds

As the fertilizer comes in bags of 50 pound then you need

460.8\ pounds * \frac{1\ bag}{50\ pounds} = 9.2\ bags

Since you can not buy 9.2 bags then we round up to the next whole number.

Finally you need 10 bags of fertilizer
