Answer:

a) a continuous variable

b) a discrete variable

c) a continuous variable

d) a discrete variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first we need to define what are the continuous and discrete variables. Discrete variables are those whose values are obtained by counting, but continuous variables those whose values are obtained by measurement.

a) The weight of a dog can be measured. Therefore, it is a continuous variable.

b) The result of a roll of dice can be counted. Therefore, it is a discrete variable.

c) The weight of a bunch of bananas can be measured. Therefore, it is a continuous variable.

d) The number of people in line at a box office to purchase theater tickets can be counted. Therefore, it is a discrete variable.

What is the complete pattern? _______ 8,570 ________ 85.7 8.57 _______

laila [671]

The Complete pattern is 85,700, 8,570, 857, 85.7, 8.57, 0.857.It is nothing but just moving the decimal places to the right side.Otherwise each number should multiplied and divided by 10 so that we derived the complete pattern.When you multiply by moving the decimal point to the right, you also need to add a zero to the end of it. This is an alternative method for the pattern.
