The number of interceptions made by a defensive back is definitely countable because it is finite and also it is not continuous because each interception is different and is unique. That is to say, one interruption happens and then then next. They do not happen in a continuous manner.

Thus, the number of interceptions made by a defensive back are countable and are discrete. Having a look at the options we can see that Option C matches as it says "the variable is discrete because it is countable".

Thus Option C is the answer.

A certain westbound U.S. highway truck route near a river has a downhill grade of 9%. (a) Explain what a 9% downhill grade means
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

A) A 9% downhill grade means that the decrease in elevation of the road over the segment is 9% of the change in Horizontal distance over the same segment. In other words, for every 100 horizontal feet the road descends 9 feet and the road has a slope of 0.09 vertical feet per horizontal foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Certain westbound U.S highway truck route near a river has a downhill grade of 9%

A) A 9% downhill grade means that the decrease in elevation of the road over the segment is 9% of the change in Horizontal distance over the same segment. In other words, for every 100 horizontal feet the road descends 9 feet and the road has a slope of 0.09 vertical feet per horizontal foot.

In other to make things clear, lets assume

for X = 1 , y = 9% = 0.09

for y =  9 , x = 9 / 0.09 = 100

slope = y/x = 0.09 / 1 = 0.09
