Answer:

a) Discrete, because the number of point scored during basket ball is countable.

For instance, the amount of point scored in a basketball could be 75, 103, 63 etc. The numbers are countable

b) Continuous, because the amounts of rainfall is a random variable that is uncountable.

For instance, the amount of rainfall in City Upper B during April could be 0.10 inches of rain per hour, 0.30 inches of rain per hour. This numbers are not countable, they are rather approximated or rounded off.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random variable is considered discrete if its possible values are countable while a random variable is considered to be continuous if it's possible values are not countable.

Daniel watches one hour of television for every three hours of homework he does each week. If you did 15 hours of homework last
leva [86]
Hey if you like my answer please give me the brainliest answer :)

Ok so we have a ratio of 1:3 here. (1 is for the hour of tv and 3 is for hours of homework)

3 can go into 15 (hours of homework last week) 5 times. That means we must multiply 3 by 5 to get 15 so that we can fit the ratio to last week. Because we did that, we have to multiply 1 by 5 as well.

1 × 5 = 5 hours of homework!

State whether each sequence is arithmetic and justify your answer. If the sequence is arithmetic, write a recursive and an expli
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Part A

f(n)=52-12(n-1)

f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}52\: \:if \: \:n=1 & \\f(n+1)+12& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right.

Part B

(2,4,8,16,32)\: \: Geometric Sequence

Part C

1/4,3/4,5/4,7/4,9/4

g(n)=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}(n-1)\\f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1/4if \: \:n=1 & \\ f(n+1)+2/4& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right

Part D:

h(n)=1.1+0.4(n-1)\\h(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1.1 & if\:n=1 \\ h(n+1)+0.4 & if\:n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, an Arithmetic Sequence holds the same difference between each following number.

Part A

(52,40, 28, 16)\\52-40=12\\40-28=12\\28-16=12\\d=12

<u>Explicit Formula</u>

To write an explicit formula is to write it as function.

f(n)=52-12(n-1)

<u>Recursive Formula</u>

To write it as recursive formula, is to write it as recurrence given to some restrictions:

f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}52\: \:if \: \:n=1 & \\f(n+1)+12& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right.

Part B

(2,4,8,16,32)\: \:

Geometric Sequence, since 2*2=4 8*2=16 and 16*2=32 and 8+2=10 8+16=24

Part C

(\frac{1}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{5}{4},\frac{7}{4},\frac{9}{4})\\\

Arithmetic Sequence, difference

d=\frac{2}{4}

<u>Explicit Formula:</u>

g(n)=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}(n-1)

<u>Recursive Formula</u>

g(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\frac{1}{4} &if\:n=1 \\ g(n+1)+\frac{2}{4} &if\: n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right.

Part D

(1.1,1.5,1.9,2.3,2.7) Arithmetic Sequence, difference d=0.4

<u>Explicit formula</u>

h(n)=1.1+0.4(n-1)\\

<u>Recursive Formula</u>

h(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1.1 &if\:n=1 \\ h(n+1)+0.4 &if\: n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right.
