Classify the following as discrete or continuous random variables.

Answer:

A discrete variable is a variable that can only take some selected given values from a given set, like x ∈ {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

While a continuous variable can take any value in the range, like x ∈ {x₁, xₙ}.

1)  The weight of bags of apples, with 10 apples in each bag.

Here the weight depends on the number of apples in the bag, and we can have only whole numbers of apples in the bag, so this is clearly a discrete variable.

2) The number of times required for a modem to dial an internet provider before connecting.

Same as before, here we can have only a whole number of attempts, so this set is discrete.

3) Out of 10 times connecting to an internet provider, the average number of attempts necessary before connecting.

Here we will have an average of 10 integer numbers:

M = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_{10}}{10}

so here we have a kinda dense set of possible values, so we can think of this as a continuous variable.

4)  A pair of dice is rolled, and the sum to appear on the dice is recorded.

Here the possible values are whole numbers again, so we can not have values like 3.5, so again, this is a discrete variable.

3y=11-2x, 3x=y-11 linear equation solve using the algebraic method check solution
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

(x, y) = (- 2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

3y = 11 - 2x → (1)

3x = y - 11 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing y in terms of x

add 11 to both sides

y = 3x + 11 → (3)

Substitute y = 3x + 11 into (1)

3(3x + 11) = 11 - 2x

9x + 33 = 11 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )

11x + 33 = 11 ( subtract 33 from both sides )

11x = - 22 ( divide both sides by 11 )

x = - 2

Substitute x = - 2 in (3) for corresponding value of y

y = (3 × - 2) + 11 = - 6 + 11 = 5

As a check

substitute x = - 2, y = 5 into (1) and (2) and if the left side equals the right side then these values are the solution.

(1) :  left side = (3 × 5) = 15

right side = 11 - (2 × - 2) = 11 + 4 = 15 ⇒ left = right

(2) : left side = (3 × - 2 ) = - 6

right side = 5 - 11 = - 6 ⇒ left = right

solution = (- 2, 5 )

For the function f(x)= 1/x+1. which of these could be a value f(x) when x is close to -1
WITCHER [35]

Given the following question:

f(x)=\frac{1}{x+1}

Graph the function:

The value of the function of x is infinite as you see the line goes on forever. Which means your answer is option C or "10,000."
