Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that is a right triangle where its hypotenuse is
. We can also see that
. For this we must use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Recall:
The Pythagorean Theorem states that if you have a right triangle, the principal square root of the sum of the squares of each leg is the length the hypotenuse.
We can see that and
Answer:
Discrete. See explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to remember some previous concepts:
We have two types of numerical data: Discrete and Continuous
When we say Discrete data we are refering to data that is countable or can be expressed with integers in a domain.
In the other case when we talk about continuous data we are refering to data that is continuous in a specified domain, it can contain decimals or rational numbers in the Real numbers for example.
For this special case we know that they select a sample size of n=1020 and the sample proportion of people in the United States who wash their hands after riding public transportation was 0.44 or 44% in percentage.
But the number of subjects on this survey needs to be Discrete, since the possible values are 0,1,2,3,4,.....,n and never we have decimals or continuous data in order to express this.
