______________
Answer:
a) Discrete Variable
b) Continuous Variable
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Discrete and Continuous:
- Discrete data are the data whose value can be expressed in whole number. They cannot take all the values within an interval.
- Discrete variables are usually counted than measured.
- Continuous variable can be expressed in the form of decimals. They can take any value within an interval.
- Continuous variables are usually measured than counted.
(a) The number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is made.
Since the number of shots made will always be expressed in whole numbers and the number of shots made will counted and not measured. Thus, number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is made. is a discrete variable.
(b) The distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit.
The distance is a continuous variable as its value can be expressed in decimals. Also distance is always measured and not counted. Thus, distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit is a continuous variable.

A(1,1), B(1,4) and C(-3,4) in this question will be given by
|Ax ( By − Cy)+ Bx(Cy−Ay)+ Cx(Ay− By) |/2
=|1(4-4)+1(4-1)+-3(1-4)|/2=10/5= 5 sq. units.
Answer: The incidence of skin cancer (melanoma) has been underestimated.
Step-by-step explanation: The frequency of melanoma is more than 20 times higher in whites than in black Americans. In general, the risk of melanoma in the course of life is approximately 2.6% (1 in 38) for whites, 0.1% (1 in 1.000) for black people and 0.58% (1 in 172) for Hispanics. the risk for each person can be affected by a different number of factors.
