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.

Answer:

A- control group

Since group A is tested under normal condition, it is the control group. Control group is separated from other groups so that the independent variable being tested cannot influence the result.

What is the solution to this system of linear equations?<br><br> x + y = 4<br><br> x − y = 6
Amiraneli [1.4K]
X+y = 4, therefore y = 4-x when you rearrange the equation.
You can subsitute this in: x-(4-x) = 6
-4+x = 6-x
x=10-x
2x = 10
x = 5
Substitute x into the previous equation:
5+y = 4
y = 4-5
y = -1

What is 2 5/6 +1 5/7
mylen [45]
Hi Cherise1cherhop lets break this equation down with these steps:

1) add the whole numbers first

2) find the LCD of the fractions and that would be 42 since 42 can go into both denominators through multiplication

3) make the denominators (bottom numbers) the same as the LCD (42)

4) simplify it, now the denominators are equal

5) join the denominators together

6) simplify it (3 + 65/42)

7) convert 65/42 to mixed fraction

8) now that we made it a mixed fraction, simplify it

Answer: 4 23/42

Which of the following is the solution to 6/(x+2) = 5/4x?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is     x = 10/19

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

                      6 / (x + 2) = 5 / 4x

To solve this equation use cross multiplication

                      6(4x) = 5(x + 2)

Simplify

                     24x = 5x + 10

Subtract 5x in both sides of the equation

                     24x - 5x = 5x - 5x + 10

Simplify

                     19x = 10

Divide by 19 both sides

                     19x/19 = 10/19

Simplify

                         x = 10/19

Use the quadratic formula to solve x2+7x+3. Show all of your work. Then describe the solution.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of the quadratic x^2 + 7x + 3 are a = 1, b = 7 and c = 3.

The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or 49 - 4(1)(3), or 49-12, or 37.

Because the discriminant is positive, we know that this quadratic equation has two real, different solutions.

      -7 ± √37

x = ---------------   =>   x = (-7 + √37)/2  and  x = (-7 - √37)/2

             2

In words:  This quadratic equation has two real, unequal solutions involving the radicand 37.
