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.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

P(\text{Powdered sugar donut})=\dfrac{1}{15} .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Wendy's mother recorded how many donuts she has eaten over the past few months.

Jelly-filled donuts = 6

Maple donuts = 53  

Glazed donuts = 11  

Powdered sugar donuts = 5

Now,

Total number of donuts = 6 + 53 + 11 + 5 = 75

We need to find the experimental probability that the next donut Wendy eats will be a powdered sugar donut.

P(\text{Powdered sugar donut})=\dfrac{\text{Powdered sugar donuts}}{\text{Total number of donuts}}

P(\text{Powdered sugar donut})=\dfrac{5}{75}

P(\text{Powdered sugar donut})=\dfrac{1}{15}

Therefore, P(\text{Powdered sugar donut})=\dfrac{1}{15}.

Question 4
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

12/7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the rate for hour for the two. For Lianne she can do 1/3 of the job per hour. For Julie she can do 1/4 of the job per hour.

Adding them together, 1/3+1/4= 7/12.  

This 7/12 means that working together they can finish 7/12 of a job in an hour. We can use the speed*time=distance formula here and see that

7/12 * time = 1 job done

time = 12/7 hours.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

$9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  I owe my friend $16 and my mom owes me $25

step 1-->take back money from mom

Mom gives back you $25

Now you have $25

Step 2: return the money you owe to friend

you owe $16

You have $25 and return $16

Thus , money you will have = money you have - money you return

money you have = $25 - $16 = $9

Thus, you will have $9 , after all is settled.
