Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete data includes numbers that are exclusively integers, i.e, ... -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 ..... and so on. It do not include the other real numbers that are not integers. You can recognize discrete data, for example, in a grah, as there will be only isolated points and not a continuous line.

The height of a member is continuous as we can have every number between 0 and the top height. There can be 1.50 m, 1.51m, 1.5000001m, 1.65m, 1,644444449, and so on with every number (obviously, we will not have heights of 5.78 m because of simply nature). So, we discard option a.

Exactly the same as heights happens with weight. We can ahve any weight you may imagine from the less weight to the top. 100.45555555 pounds is a posible weight, for example. With this, we discard option b.

The time is also continuous. Lets think in minutes. A runner can register 7 minutes, 7.2 minutes, 7.098686 minutes, and so on for every number. We can use every fraction you imagine. So we can discard options d and e.

However the number of times is discrete, because the number of races are discrete. There are 1, 2, 3, 4,... races. We can not have 5.5 races, it is impossible. So, the number of times a runner finished ahead is discrete. There is no member that finished 7.2 times first, we can find either 7 times or 8 times, but not 7.2. So, option c is the correct.

24 is 16% of what number
Eva8 [605]
Is/of = %/100 plug the numbers in 24/x = 16/100 then cross multiply then you get 2400 = 16x so you get x by itself so you would have to divide by 16. 2400/16 = 16x/16 the 16 on the x side cancel out so you get x = 150 (I used proportions)

What is the distance between (-6,2) and (8,10) on a coordinate grid
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: 14 right and 8 up, or (14, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, you can subtract or add numbers.

So from (-6, 2) to 0, I have to move right 6 spaces to get (0, 2).

Then, I must move 8 to the right to get (8, 2).

From here, I continue to move up 8 since we want to get to (8,10). So in all, you should move 14 spaces to the right and 8 up (14, 8).

6 x - 2 [ x + 2 ] &gt; 2 - 3 [ x + 3]<br> could u show me step by step on how to do thiz
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

x > - 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 2x - 4 > 2 - 3 (x + 3)

6x - 2x - 4 > 2 - 3x - 9

4x - 4 > 2 - 3x - 9

4x - 4 > - 7 - 3x

4x - 4 + 3x > - 7

7x > - 7 + 4

7x > - 3
