Answer:

(a) P(sum is 8) = 1/20

(b) P(sum is 6 or less) = 3/10

(c) P(first number is 2 or the sum is 5) = 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The probability (P) of having 8 as the sum of the numbers is;

P(3 and 5) = 1/5 × 1/4 = 1/20

(b) Probability that the sum of the numbers is 6 or less.

P(sum is 6) = P(2 and 4) or P(1 and 5) = 1/20 + 1/20 = 1/10

P(sum is less than 6) = P(1 and 4) or P(1 and 3) or P(1 and 2) or P(2 and 3) = 1/20 × 4 = 1/5

P(sum is 6 or less) = 1/10 + 1/5 = 3/10

(c) The first number is 2 or the sum is 5

P(first number is 2) = 1 - P(first number is 1) - P(first number is 3) - P(first number is 4) - P(first number is 5) = 1 - 4(1/5) = 1/5

P(sum is 5) = P(1 and 4) or P(2 and 3) = 1/20 + 1/20 = 1/10

P(first number is 2 or sum is 5) = 1/5 + 1/10 = 3/10

For 100kg 

15% : (100-x)0.15
75% : 0.75x

equation

(100-x)0.15 + 0.75x = 100*0.63
solve for x:

x = 80kg of 75%

What is the other name for continuous variables?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Nominal variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Mathematics, a random variable can be defined as any variable whose values are determined by the outcome of a random experiment.

Basically, random variables are classified into two (2) main categories and these are;

1. Discrete variable: a discrete variable is a data set in which the number of possible values are either finite or countable. For instance, the value of a fair die, number of sweets in a jar, number of eggs in a crate etc.

2. Continuous variable: a continuous variable is a data set having infinitely many possible values and those values cannot be counted, meaning they are uncountable. Any quantity such as height, volume, weight, density, length, pressure, temperature, speed, distance, time are generally a continuous random variable.

Hence, the other name for continuous variables is nominal variables because they are numerical in nature.
