A. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.

B. The data are discrete because the data can only take on specific values.

C. The data are continuous because the data can only take on specific values.

D. The data are discrete because the data can take on any value in an interval.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer:

The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval. (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two categories of data:

Discrete data: These are data that have specific values that they can take on. There are limits to what values can be assigned to such categories. for example, The number of countries in a continent, there can either be 15 countries, 50 countries 30 countries, etc. There is not a possibility of having 40.56 countries on this kind of list. hence it is a discrete dataset.

Continuous data are data that can take on any value within an interval or on a particular scale of measurement. In this example, the height of the elephant in meters can be 1.5m, 2m, 1.06m, etc. There is no limit to the possibility of the height of an elephant on a meter scale.

10•f(7)+9•g(-1)=

Answers

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

By the rule of the functions, 10.[f(7)] + 9[g(-1)] = -1

  From the graph attached,

Blue curve represents the function 'f' and the purple curve represents function 'g'.

We have to find the value of the expression with the help of the graph attached,

For a function y = f(x), (x, y) is a point on the curve representing the values on x-axis and y-axis respectively.

Given expression → 10[f(7)] + 9[g(-1)]

Since, y = f(x)

Therefore, for x = 7 y-value will be,

y = f(7) = -1

Similarly, y-value of the function 'g' at x = (-1) will be,

y = g(-1) = 1

By substituting these values in the expression,

10.[f(7)] + 9.[g(-1)] = 10(-1) + 9(1)

                           = 10(-1) + 9

                           = -10 + 9

                           = -1

  Therefore, 10.[f(7)] + 9[g(-1)] = -1 will be the answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x>−15

Answer:

x>−15

Answer:

x>-15 would be the answer!

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equality −x + 5< 20, you want x to be by its self. First of all, you'll subtract 5 on both sides so now you will have -x<15. Now, you must get rid of the negative so divide -1 to both sides. Oh, looks like you will have to flip the symbol since you're dividing a negative. In the end, you'll have an answer of x>-15.

Please please please help me I'm really confused and I don't understand it ​

Answers

Answer : p=2

2p-2-5x=-2(7-2x)

First, work on the parentheses. So the -2 on the outside as to be multiplied by the 7 , which gets -14 . Then you multiply the -2 by the 2x, which is 4x.

It will go from -2(7-2x) to -14+4x
But if the -14+4x looks too confusing, you can just switch them around to look “normal”. So it would be 4x-14 .

Now that we’re finished with one side of the problem, we’ll go to the other side.

On the left side , there are two variables, or letters. Because they are the same letter (p) all you have to do is add them together.

3p
-5p
+—-
-2p

And then just carry the -2 that was originally there , so it’s -2p-2

Now the equation is
-2p-2 = 4p-14

So we’re going to add 2p to both sides.

The -2p on the left cancels out, and the 4p on the right side becomes 6p

-2 = 6p-14

Next, you are going to want to isolate the variable. (Leave the letter by itself) so you add 14 to the -14 , so it can cancel out. (AND DO THE SAME ON THE OTHER SIDE)
So, you add 14 to the -2 on the left of the equation. Which comes out to 12.

12 = 6p

Lastly, divide the 6p , so you can get the letter on it’s own. And do the same on the other side.

12 divided by 6 is 2

2 = p

OR

p = 2

What is the arithmetic operator?

Arithmetic operators are four basic mathematical operations in which summation, subtraction, division, and multiplication involve.,

Division = eg 2/3

Multiplication = eg 2 × 4

As per the given question,

Length of rectangle = 8 × 10⁴ mm.

Width of rectangle = 4× 10⁴ mm

The ratio of length to width

Length/width = (8× 10⁴)/(4× 10⁴)

Length/width = 2

Length = 2 × width

Hence "The ratio of rectangle length to width is 2 thus the length is 2 times the width".

Farmer Phil needs to treat a field with potash and nitrogen. He knows he needs 308 pounds of potash and 330 pounds of nitrogen. He can use Grow Rite brand and Great Green Brand. Grow Rite has 4 pounds of potash and 5 pounds of nitrogen per bag. Great Green has 7 pounds of potash and 6 pounds of nitrogen per bag.

Answers

Answer:

The number of bags of Grow Rite brand = x = 42 bags

The number of bags of Great Green brand = y = 20 bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bags of Grow Rite brand = x

The number of bags of Great Green brand = y

The equation is given as:

4x + 7y = 308....... Equation 1

5x + 6y = 330....... Equation 2

Using Elimination method.

Multiply Equation 2 by the coefficient of x in Equation 1 and Multiply Equation 1 by the coefficient of x in Equation 2

4x + 7y = 308....... Equation 1 × 5

5x + 6y = 330....... Equation 2 × 4

20x + 35y = 1540..... Equation 3

20x + 24y = 1320....... Equation 4

Subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4

11y = 220

y = 220/11

y = 20 bags

4x + 7y = 308....... Equation 1

4x + 7(20) = 308

4x + 140 = 308

4x = 308 - 140

4x = 168

x = 168/4

x = 42 bags

The number of bags of Grow Rite brand = x = 42 bags

The number of bags of Great Green brand = y = 20 bags.

Write an inequality to determine when Apartment A will cost more than Aparment B: Johnny is searching for an apartment and has narrowed it down to two choices. Apartment A has a $300 security deposit and costs $800 each month. Apartment B has a $900 deposit and costs $500 each month.

Answers

Answer:

Apartment A will cost more than Aparment B after 2 months which means from the third month and above, Apartment A will cost more than Aparment B

Step-by-step explanation:

Write

Let the number of months be represented as y

Apartment A has a $300 security deposit and costs $800 each month.

$300 + $800 × y

300 + 800y

Apartment B has a $900 deposit and costs $500 each month

$900 + $500 × y

900 + 500y

An inequality to determine when Apartment A will cost more than Aparment B :

Apartment A > Apartment B

300 + 800y > 900 + 500y

300 + 800y = 900 + 500y

Collect like terms

800y - 500y = 900 - 300

300y = 600

y = 600/300

y = 2 months

Therefore Apartment A will cost more than Aparment B after 2 months which means from the third month and above, Apartment A will cost more than Aparment B

Estuary provides refuge after dam removal for bull troutBull trout use a bewildering array of strategies to aid in their survival, from remaining in streams their whole lives, like rainbow trout, to spending part of their lives in the ocean before returning tostreams to spawn, just as salmon do.Bull trout are present in only one of two neighboring rivers in the Olympic peninsula, Washington state, and in this one (the Elwha River), where two large dams were removed. Dam removal resultedin massive outflow of sediments, reducing the clarity of the water and also building up a large delta and expanding the size of the estuary at the mouth of the Elwha River.Sampling for bull trout before, during, and after dam removal was used to detect whether bull trout changed their use of the Elwha River estuary or moved into the adjacent Salt Creek stream wherethey were formerly absent. Sampling revealed no movement into Salt Creek, but numbers of bull trout in the Elwha River estuary increased greatly during and immediately after dam removal,coinciding with large sediment outflow, before returning to their original low levels. Thus, bull trout appear to have used the enlarged estuary as a refuge from the effects of dam removal, thenreturning to the river when the river water cleared up from the sedimentOf additional interest is the long-term response of bull trout to the additional habitat opened up above the former dams.Lincoln, A.
