Answer:
There are 120 1st graders at Sierra Elementary School this year
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the total number of 1st graders at Sierra Elementary School
Since 45% of all 1st graders at Sierra Elementary School are female students and this year there are 54 female 1st graders, 45% of n is equal to 54
→ n() = 54
→ 45n = 5400
→ n = 120
Real world example could be:
Consider x is time in minutes
Consider y is the amount of fish food required in grams
The equation could then represent how much food (in grams) that a fish needs to be fed x minutes after it was previously fed.
With continuous data, it is possible to find the midpoint of any two distinct values. For instance, if h = height of tree, then its possible to find the middle height of h = 10 and h = 7 (which in this case is h = 8.5)
On the other hand, discrete data can't be treated the same way (eg: if n = number of people, then there is no midpoint between n = 3 and n = 4).
-------------------------------------
With that in mind, we have the following answers
1) Continuous data. Time values are always continuous. Any two distinct time values can be averaged to find the midpoint
2) Continuous data. Like time values, temperatures can be averaged as well.
3) Discrete data. Place locations in a race or competition are finite and we can't have midpoints. We can't have a midpoint between 9th and 10th place for instance.
4) Continuous data. We can find the midpoint and it makes sense to do so when it comes to speeds.
5) Discrete data. This is a finite number and countable. We cannot have 20.5 freshman for instance.
