Answer:

(25 × 10") + 153 × 10" = (25 +153) × 10" = 178 × 10" = 1780"

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Numbers are miscopied: the numbers in parentheses should be (25 +153). Of course, the sum of these should be 178, not 78.

b) The common factor 10" is somehow expanded to 110' x 10°. It should be 10".

The sum should be ...

(25 × 10") + 153 × 10" = (25 +153) × 10"

= 178 × 10" = 1780" . . . . . correct sum

_____

Maybe the middle step is an attempt to convert to feet.

1780" × (1')/(12") = (148 1/3)' = 148' 4"

Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous.

Pie

If we count a quantity, it's discrete.
If we measure a quantity, its continuous.
The number of people in a crowd is discrete. So are the # of game points scored.
Since every dimension of a house is a continuous random variable, the square footage is also.
See whether you can now identify which of the above choices is discrete and which is continuous.

The population of a town increased by 10% per year in 2009, 2010, and 2011. If the population of the town at the beginning of 20

Bogdan [553]

If the population was 40,000 at the beginning of 2009, at the end of 2009 it has increased by 10% and became 44,000.

By the same way, at the end of 2010, it became $44000 + \frac{44000*10}{100} = 48400$

At the end of 2011, the population was $48400 + \frac{48400 * 10}{100} = 53240$
