Answer: It is a continuous random variable.
The amount of rain is a continuous random variable because it can take on all of the numbers on a number line.
For example, the actual amount of rain in April could be 1 inch. Or 1.4 inches. Or 1.45 inches. Or 1.452020980234 inches. There are an infinite possibilities for the amount of rainfall.
First you need to set up an equation y = mx + b. m would be the monthly charge and b would be the one time fee. x represents the number of months.
To solve for the number of months with a total price of 240 we substitute 240 in for y and solve for x.
240 = 25x + 40
subtract 40 from each side
200= 25x
divide by 25
8 = x
8 months
10 + 7r = 45
7r = 35
r = 5
5 miles
Simplify the following:
(3 sqrt(2) - 4)/(sqrt(3) - 2)
Multiply numerator and denominator of (3 sqrt(2) - 4)/(sqrt(3) - 2) by -1:
-(3 sqrt(2) - 4)/(2 - sqrt(3))
-(3 sqrt(2) - 4) = 4 - 3 sqrt(2):
(4 - 3 sqrt(2))/(2 - sqrt(3))
Multiply numerator and denominator of (4 - 3 sqrt(2))/(2 - sqrt(3)) by sqrt(3) + 2:
((4 - 3 sqrt(2)) (sqrt(3) + 2))/((2 - sqrt(3)) (sqrt(3) + 2))
(2 - sqrt(3)) (sqrt(3) + 2) = 2×2 + 2 sqrt(3) - sqrt(3)×2 - sqrt(3) sqrt(3) = 4 + 2 sqrt(3) - 2 sqrt(3) - 3 = 1:
((4 - 3 sqrt(2)) (sqrt(3) + 2))/1
((4 - 3 sqrt(2)) (sqrt(3) + 2))/1 = (4 - 3 sqrt(2)) (sqrt(3) + 2):
Answer: (4 - 3 sqrt(2)) (sqrt(3) + 2)
