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.

Explain the diffrences between +8,-8,{8}.
lesantik [10]
+8 means that it is a positive number
-8 means that it is a negative number

Which of the following statement(s) describes the rate of change of f over the interval 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3? Select all that apply.
Vesnalui [34]

2 Answers: Choice B and Choice C

The rate of change is 2.

The rate of change is constant.

======================================================

Explanation:

The first point on the left is when x = 1.5 and it has a height of y = 1

The point (1.5, 1) is on the line.

So is the point (3,4) for similar reasoning.

Compute the slope between those points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (4-1)/(3-1.5)

m = 3/(1.5)

m = 2

The slope is 2, which is the same as saying the rate of change is 2. This only applies when x > 1 of which the interval 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3  is a part of.

Since the slope stays at 2 on the interval 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3, this means we consider the slope to be constant. If the curve bended at all on this interval, then it wouldn't be a constant slope.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

So if Charlie only has $27 to spend and hes already buying $3 kid's meal that leaves him with $24 to spend for 6 sandwiches. If you divide 6 by 24, 24/6 leaves him with $4 to spend on each sandwich.
