A discrete variable has possible values that are separate​ numbers, while a continuous variable has possible values that form an interval. C. A discrete variable has infinitely many possible​ values, while a continuous variable is usually a count. D. A discrete variable has each observation belong to one of a set of distinct​ categories, while a continuous variable has observations that take numerical values that represent different magnitudes of the variable.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is:

A discrete variable has possible values that are separate​ numbers, while a continuous variable has possible values that form an interval. (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two major categories of variables in data measurement: Discrete and Continuous variables

A Discrete variable is a type variable that can take on a distinct number, obtained by counting, and there is a limit to the value that that variable can take on. An example is the number of students in a class. This can be 10, or 20 or 25, etc. There cannot be 12.8 students or 13.1 students. Hence this kind of variable is a discrete variable.

A Continuous variable is one that is measured and not counted. they have an infinite possibility within a range in a scale of measurement. An example is; the height of trees in meters. The possibilities can be 3.6m, 4.08m, 5m, 1.9m, etc. There is no distinct number, but a possibility of ranges.

A distribution is positively skewed. Which is the most probable order for the three measures of central tendency

Answers

Answer:

The answer is mode, median, mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the smallest to the largest we have the mode, median, mean. If a distribution is positively skewed it means that it is right skewed. It tells us that the right tail of this distribution has longer length compared to the left tail. The average, mean would be moved slightly to the left, the mode occurs at the top while the median is in the middle.



1. Eighty-nine percent of Americans polled are in favor of arts education being taught in public

schools.

a. Does the above numerical value describe a parameter or a statistic?

b. After reading the above statement, you decide to campaign for the arts in education and

use the statement: "A majority of Americans are in favor of art education, which shows

their love of arts. Americans support ballet teaching in public schools." What branch of

statistics would you be applying?

Answers

Answer:

a. parameter

b. descriptive statistics

Step-by-step explanation:

The values of the population charactersitics are summarized by certain numerical descriptive measures called parameters.

The observations composing a sample are used to calculate a corresponding numerical descriptive measure called a statistic.

a. The percent of Americans is of a population and therefore it is a parameter not a statistics.

b. Descriptive statistics deals with the collection, summarization and display of data.

Inferential statistics deals with conclusions drawn based on a sample.

This is descriptive statistics because it is displaying of data collected from a population of America.

Answers

The answer would be 8x + 8
The answer is 8x + 8

We need to add f(x) + g(x) so the expression would be:
(6x + 14) + (2x - 6)
6x + 14 + 2x - 6

From there, we can add like terms to get our answer
6x + 14 + 2x - 6
8x + 8

If the width was 8 inches tall but then was reduced to 5 inches tall that means it was reduced by 3 inches, so we just do the same thing with the height. If it is 7inches tall after it was reduced then just add 3 inches back to it which means it was 10 inches tall...Ik its kinda confusing but its correct

the product of the ages of a father and his son is 576.if the father is 18 years younger than 5 times his son .how old is each?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]F = 45.4[/tex]

[tex]S = 12.68[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the sons age with S and the father's age with F

[tex]S * F = 576[/tex]

[tex]F = 5S - 18[/tex]

Required

Determine F and S

Substitute 5S - 18 for F in the first equation

[tex]S * (5S - 18) = 576[/tex]

Open Bracket

[tex]5S\² - 18S = 576[/tex]

Equate to 0

[tex]5S\² - 18S - 576 = 0[/tex]

Solve using quadratic formula:

[tex]S = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Where

[tex]a = 5[/tex]

[tex]b = -18[/tex]

[tex]c = -576[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{-(-18)\±\sqrt{(-18)^2 - 4*5*-576}}{2 * 5}[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{18\±\sqrt{324 + 11520}}{10}[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{18\±\sqrt{11844}}{10}[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{18\±\108.8}{10}[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{18+108.8}{10}[/tex] or [tex]S = \frac{18-108.8}{10}[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{126.8}{10}[/tex]  or [tex]S = \frac{-90.8}{10}[/tex]

[tex]S = 12.68[/tex] or [tex]S = -9.08[/tex]

Since, age can't be negative.

We have that:

[tex]S = 12.68[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]F = 5S - 18[/tex]

[tex]F = 5 * 12.68 - 18[/tex]

[tex]F = 45.4[/tex]

Hence:

The father is 45 years old and the son is 13 years old (Approximated)

solve the quadratic equations

x^2 -8x + 35 = 0

x^2 +8x + 25 = 0

Answers

Answer:

x^2=8x-35

Step-by-step explanation:

1.1     Factoring  x2-8x+35  

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  -8x  its coefficient is  -8 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +35  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 35 = 35  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  35  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -8 .

     -35    +    -1    =    -36  

     -7    +    -5    =    -12  

     -5    +    -7    =    -12  

     -1    +    -35    =    -36  

     1    +    35    =    36  

     5    +    7    =    12  

     7    +    5    =    12  

     35    +    1    =    36  


At the city museum, child admission is $6.00 and adult admission is $9.60. On Tuesday, 177 tickets were sold for a total sales of $1350.00. How many adult
tickets were sold that day?

Answers

80 adult tickets were sold that day.

This is a two equation problem.

First, let:

a = adult tickets

c = child tickets

[tex]6c + 9.6a = 1350[/tex]

[tex]c + a = 177[/tex]

Now, solve for either variable (c or a). We're going to isolate "c" in the second equation and plug it into the first.

[tex]c + a = 177[/tex]

[tex]c = 177 - a[/tex]

Plug it in:

[tex]6(177 - a) + 9.6a = 1350[/tex]

[tex]1062 - 6a + 9.6a = 1350[/tex]

[tex]1062 + 3.6a = 1350[/tex]

[tex]3.6a = 288[/tex]

[tex]a = 80[/tex]

Now, plug in 80 for "a" in either of the equations to find "c."

[tex]c + (80) = 177[/tex]

[tex]c = 97[/tex]

Rather than solving algebraically, as shown above, you can also graph the two equations, and wherever they intersect will be the solution.
