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.

Think carefully about the angle relationship the following represents.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

See below ↓↓↓

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Subquestion #1</u>

  • These angles form a linear pair
  • They are supplementary, and add up to 180°
  • 2x + 48 = 180
  • 2x = 132
  • <u>x = 66</u>

<u></u>

<u>Subquestion #2</u>

  • These angles are complementary, and add up to 90°
  • 35 + 4x + 7 = 90
  • 4x + 42 = 90
  • 4x = 48
  • <u>x = 12</u>

<u></u>

<u>Subquestion #3</u>

  • As in #1, they are a linear pair, and are supplementary
  • 3x + 54 = 180
  • 3x = 126
  • <u>x = 42</u>

Which is an equation of a direct proportion?<br><br> a.y=1/6x+6 b.y=6/x<br> c.y=6x-6 d.y=6x
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Option D. y=6x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

<em>Verify each case</em>

case a) y=(1/6)x+6

Is a linear equation, but is not a direct variation. The line not passes through the origin

case b)  y=6/x

The equation represent an inverse variation

case c) y=6x-6

Is a linear equation, but is not a direct variation. The line not passes through the origin

case d) y=6x

The equation represent a direct variation
