The answer is "c. continuous probability distribution."
"Continuous" means it is a subset of the real numbers set: it can take any value in a specified range. For example, if you break at random a stick with a given length of 12 cm, and then measure the shortest piece, you can get any value in the range (0 cm, 6 cm). This is a continuous random variable.
A random variable is said to be "discrete" if it can only take values from a finite (or countably infinite) set. For example, if you roll a dice, you can get only 1, 2, ..., 6. But you cannot get any vaue in the range [1, 6], because the value must be an integer (e.g., you cannot get the vaue 2.5). This is a discrete random variable.
A somewhat technical explanation:
- A random variable is a mapping from a event space to a number set: it associates a number (a value of the variable) with every event.
- The random variable is said to be continuous if it maps events to numbers from a subset of the set of real numbers.
- The probability distributions corresponding to continuous random variables are called continuous probability distributions.
A way to categorize information and point you to where to find that
information is called the table of contents. It contains the chapters
of the topic and its corresponding subtopic. It depends on the length of the
topic of that book or section. It is located at the first few pages of the book
or other reading material.
Answer: 4 yards 2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
1 yard = 3 feet
8 yards - 3 yards = 5 yards - 1 yard = 4 yards
3 ft + 1 ft - 2ft = 2 ft
answer is 4 yards 2 feet
Answer:
4 ssquare units
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: y=3/4x + 1/2
Step-by-step explanation: Parallel lines must have the same slope, so you already know the equation must be something like y=3/4x+b. You are given a point that the line goes thru(2,2), so you can plug this point into the equation to solve for b.
(2)=3/4(2) + b
2=6/4 + b
2= 3/2 + b
b= 2-3/2
b=4/2- 3/2
b=1/2
so y=3/4x + 1/2
