Answer:
(1) B
(2) A
(3) C
Step-by-step explanation:
A random variable is a variable that denotes a set of all the possible outcomes of a random experiment. It is denotes by a single capital letter such as X or Y.
There are two types of random variables.
- Discrete random variable: These type of random variable takes finite number of values, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... For example, number of girl child in a neighborhood.
- Continuous random variable: These type of random variables takes infinite number of possible values. For example, the height, weight.
(1)
Exact weight of quarters now in circulation in the United States.
The variable weight is a continuous variable.
Thus, the exact weight of quarters now in circulation in the United States is a continuous random variable.
(2)
Shoe sizes of humans.
The shoe size of a person are discrete and finite values.
Thus, the shoe sizes of humans are discrete random variables.
(3)
Political party affiliations of adults in the United States.
This variable is not a quantitative variable.
It is a qualitative variable.
Thus, the political party affiliations of adults in the United States is no random variable.
Answer: 
=====================================================
Reason:
Plot the points (0,0) and (r,s). You can place (r,s) anywhere you want.
Connect the two points mentioned and form a right triangle such that the segment from (0,0) to (r,s) is the hypotenuse of said right triangle.
The horizontal leg has a length of r-0 = r units, while the vertical leg will be 's' units.
Check out the diagram below.
We then apply the pythagorean theorem to say 
where h is the hypotenuse. Solving for h gets us 
. We only focus on the positive square root since a negative hypotenuse makes no sense.
Since we made the hypotenuse the segment with endpoints (r,s) and (0,0), this means the hypotenuse length and the distance are the same thing.
Therefore, the distance from (r,s) to (0,0) is 
As an alternative, you can use the distance formula to get the same answer. The distance formula is effectively the pythagorean theorem phrased a different way.
Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
