Answer:
a) True
b) True
c) False
d) True
Step-by-step explanation:
A discrete variable is the one where the values taken by it are possible to count (usually the values are natural numbers)
On the other side, a continuous variable is the one that has an uncountable number of values. (usually the values are real numbers)
Considering these definitions we get:
a)The batting average of Joe’s favorite player is a continuous variable: True, this average can take any number among the real numbers.
b) The number of hot dogs that Joe bought is a discrete variable: True, Joe can only buy 1, 2, 3, 4... hot dogs, this set is countable and therefore is a discrete variable.
c) The number of strikeouts in the game is a continuous variable: False, the strikeouts are natural numbers (1, 2, 3, 4...) and therefore are countable and they are a discrete variable.
d) The Quakes standings in the league is a discrete variable: True. The standing of a team in a league is a discrete variable since it can be 1st place, 2nd place... and therefore it's countable.
Answer:
4x equals 24 so x equals 6

Answer:
80 questions
Step-by-step explanation:
- 35/100 = 28/x
- 35x = 28(100)
- 35x = 2800
- x = 2800/35
- x = 80
Answer: Choice A
y = (-3/4)(x + 4) + 6
=====================================================
Let's go through the answer choices
- Choice A is something we'll come back to
- Choice B is false because the line does not go uphill as we move from left to right. The graphed line has a negative slope, which contradicts what choice B is saying.
- Choice C is false for similar reasons as choice B. The slope should be negative.
- Choice D has a negative slope, but the y intercept is wrong. The y intercept should be 3. So choice D is false as well.
We've eliminated choices B through D.
Choice A must be the answer through process of elimination.
------------
Here's an alternative method:
If we started at a point like (0,3) and move to (4,0), note how the slope is -3/4
This is because we've moved down 3 units and to the right 4 units.
m = slope = rise/run = -3/4
We can also use the slope formula m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to see this.
Then we pick on a point that is on the diagonal line. It could be any point really, but the point your teacher used for choice A is (x1,y1) = (-4,6)
So,
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 6 = (-3/4)(x - (-4))
y - 6 = (-3/4)(x + 4)
y = (-3/4)(x + 4) + 6
If you add all the gumballs together you get a total of 20200 gumballs now you just divide 5252 by the total number of 20200 to get the percent of 26% giving us the answer to what the percent of red there is in this container
(add all the number, divide the total number of reds by the total number of gumballs (5252 divided by 20200) which will give you the percent of red gumballs (26%)
