Classify the following random variables as discrete or continuous:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bogdan [553]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a. Discrete

b. Continuous

c. Continuous

d. Discrete

e. Discrete

f. Continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between discrete variable and continuous variable is that discrete variable can take a value in the form of whole numbers while continuous variable can take any form of value whole numbers or a fractions.

In other words when the values of variable can be counted then it is a discrete variable and when the values of variable can be measured then it is a continuous variable .

a.

Variable X consists of number of automobile accidents which can be counted. So, it is a discrete variable.

b.

Variable Y consists of length of time which can't  be counted but can be measured. So, it is a continuous variable.

c.

Variable M consists of amount of milk produced which can't  be counted but can be measured. So, it is a continuous variable.

d.

Variable N consists of number of eggs laid which can be counted. So, it is a discrete variable.

e.

Variable P consists of number of buildings permit issued which can be counted. So, it is a discrete variable.

f.

Variable Q consists of weight of grain which can't  be counted but can be measured. So, it is a continuous variable.

If you vertically compress the linear perent function, F(x) = x, by multiplying by 1\2
andrezito [222]

Answer: y=\dfrac12 x .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a f (x)  compresses f(x) vertically such that

  • if 0 < a < 1 (a fraction), the graph is compressed vertically by a factor of a units.
  • if a > 1, the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of a units.

If we vertically compress the linear parent function, F(x) = x, by multiplying by \dfrac12.

Then, the equation of the new function is y=\dfrac12 F(x)=\dfrac12 x .

i.e. y=\dfrac12 x .

Find the points which divide the line segment joining the points (0, -3) and (7,1) in the ratio 2:3
rewona [7]

Answer:

Known two points, list function expression, use

y-y_{0}=k(x-x_{0})

k= \frac{y_{2} -y_{1\\}}{x_{2} -x_{1} }

The function expression is

y=\frac{4}{7}x-3

It is known that the cross section of two points is 7, so the point of 2:3 is 14 / 5, that is, 0 + 14 / 5 is the abscissa of the point, which is substituted into the original equation to get y = - 7 / 5.

So the result is   (\frac{14}{5} ,-\frac{7}{5} )
