From the given options, x^2 - 6x + 9 = (x - 3)^2 is a perfect square.
Just a moment while I review this
As a rule of thumb, a discrete random variable is countable.
A continuous random variable is measurable but not countable.
a. Discrete
The number of hits to a website is countable.
b. Continuous
The weight of a T-bone steak is measurable.
c. Discrete
The political party affiliations of adults are countable.
d. Discrete
The number of bald eagles in a country is countable.
e. Continuous
The amount of snowfall in December is measurable.
f. Discrete

x = 7
y = 8
All I did was assume x was 7 and y was 8. I added 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10 together. I got 35. Then, I divided by five (since that's how many numbers are shown) and I got 7 for the mean. 7 is the median, and the 7 is the mean gotten from 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10. Therefore, x must equal 7 and y must equal 8.
