how can you tell if data is continuous or discrete
For me, it helps to ask this question: Does it make sense to apply the midpoint? If it doesn't make sense, then the data is discrete. Otherwise, the data is continuous.
Here's an example:
Let's say we are counting the number of people buying a movie ticket. So the numbers we care about are positive whole numbers 1,2,3,... It doesn't make sense to apply the midpoint to the values 1 and 2 to get 1.5; you can't sell half a ticket. Therefore the variable "number of movie tickets sold" is a discrete variable. There are gaps in the data.
On the other hand, if we were measuring the weight of various coins, then this variable is continuous. It's possible to have any positive number decimal number weight (eg: 2.275 grams perhaps). It makes sense to apply the midpoint to any two weights and get some other weight. We don't have to worry about sticking to whole numbers only. Unlike before, there aren't any gaps and we consider this number set to be dense.
One way you could remember the two is to keep this in mind: If you count it, then it's likely discrete. If you can measure it, then it's continuous.
There are probably exceptions to that rule, but for the most part it holds up I think.

Casey is in Florida when a Zombie Apocalypse suddenly breaks out in his area. He needs to help his family and friends cross a sinkhole to escape the marauding herd. Help Casey calculate the amount of rope he will need to zipline his family and friends to safety … don’t mess this up!
(a) Choose a point on the graph (using whole numbers) and use this point to form a triangle, making the red line one side of this triangle. Calculate the three midsegments of the triangle you created, these will stabilize the zipline. Show all of your calculations below and draw in your work in the image above.
(B) Calculate the perimeter of the triangle and the lengths of each midsegment. Add these together so that Casey knows just how much rope he will need to create this lifeline to safety. Show all of your work below. Only round off at the end of the problem. Round to the nearest hundredth digit.
Pleaseeee help 50 points I don't know how to make you brainliest but include that with the answer and I will make you brainliest plzz
Attaching ropes to the midsegment of the triangle formed ensures that the
zipline can more safely cross the family and friends to safety.
The amount of rope needed to create a lifeline to safety is approximately 46.56Reasons:
The coordinates of the endpoints of the redline = A(4, 3), and B(-8, -2)
The point selected, P = (4, -3)
[tex]\displaystyle Mid \ point \ of AB, \ D = \left(\frac{4 + (-8)}{2}, \ \frac{3 + (-2)}{2} \right) = \left(-2, \, 0.5\right)[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle Mid \ point \ of AP, \ E = \left(\frac{4 +4}{2}, \ \frac{3 + (-3}{2} \right) = \left(4, \ 0 \right)[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle Mid \ point \ of\, BP, \ F = \left(\frac{-8 +4}{2}, \ \frac{-2+ (-3}{2} \right) = \left(-2, \ -2.5\right)[/tex]
The lengths of the midsegments are found as follows
Length of DE = √((4 - (-2))² + (0 - (0.5))²) = 0.5·√(145)
Length of DF = √(((-2) - (-2))² + ((-2.5) - (0.5))²) = 3
Length of EF = √(((-2) - 4)² + ((-2.5) -0)²) = 6.5
(b) The length of side AB = √((4 - (-8))² + (3 - (-2))²) = 13
The length of side BP = √((4 - (-8))² + (-3 - (-2))²) = √(145)
The length of side AP = √((4 - 4)² + (-3 - 3)²) = 6
The perimeter of the triangle ΔABP = 13 + 6 + √(145) = 19 + √(145)
The amount of rope needed to create a lifeline to safety is therefore;
19 + √(145) + 0.5·√(145) + 3 + 6.5 = 28.5 + 1.5·√(145) ≈ 46.56
The amount of rope needed to create a lifeline to safety = 46.56

Equivalent expressions are simply expressions that have the same value, irrespective of their form.
The equivalent expression of [tex]\mathbf{6x(3x + 11)}[/tex] is [tex]\mathbf{18x^2 + 66x}[/tex]
The expression is given as:
[tex]\mathbf{6x(3x + 11)}[/tex]
Start by opening the brackets; i.e. apply distributive property
[tex]\mathbf{6x(3x + 11) = 6x \times 3x + 6x \tiimes 11}[/tex]
Evaluate all products
[tex]\mathbf{6x(3x + 11) = 18x^2 + 66x}[/tex]

Answer:
Aidan can expect to save about $17.63 each week.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have an equation: y = 17.63x + 27.52. This equation is in slope-intercept form. In slope-intercept form, the value before the x (in this case, 17.63) is the slope, and the value added to the slope (in this case, 27.52) is the y-intercept.
Right now, though, we only need to focus on the slope. The slope represents a change in y over a change in x. Our y-values represent total amount saved, and our x-values represent number of weeks. Y over x... so, total amount saved over a certain number of weeks.
The first answer seems to match this the best. Remember that the slope represents how much is saved per week, and our slope is 17.63. So, the first answer (Aidan can expect to save about $17.63 each week) is correct. If you have any more questions or that was confusing at all, let me know! :)
Write an equation of the line that passes through (−2,3) and (0,8).
An equation is y=
.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
b is the y intercept and occurs where x = 0. One of our select points has an x value of 0, therefore b = 8
m is the slope and is found as the change in y over the change in x
m = Δy/Δx = (8 - 3) / (0 - (-2)) = 5/2
y = 5x/2 + 8
On a busy construction site at 1:00 p.m. the sound level is 124 dB, while at 4:00 p.m. it is 100dB. How
many times as intense as the sound of the construction site at 4:00 p.m. is the sound at 1:00 p.m.?
Answer:
1.24 times as intense
Step-by-step explanation:
The intensity of the sound decreases by 24% at construction site from 4:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
What is the average rate of change?Let the function y = f(x).
Then the average rate of change will be
Average rate of change = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
On a busy construction site at 1:00 p.m. the sound level is 124 dB, while at 4:00 p.m. it is 100dB.
Then the intense as the sound of the construction site at 4:00 p.m. is the sound at 1:00 p.m. will be
⇒ (100 – 124) / 100
⇒ -0.24
Then the intensity of the sound decreases by 24% at construction site from 4:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.

What is the average rate of change of the functionf (x) = 20(1/4)^xfrom x = 1 to x = 2?
Step-by-step explanation:
the average rate of change of a function f(x) between two values of x is
(f(x2) - f(x1)) / (x2 - x1)
f(x) = 20× (1/4)^x
x1 = 1
x2 = 2
f(x2) = 20× (1/4)² = 20/16 = 5/4
f(x1) = 20× (1/4)¹ = 20/4 = 5
(5/4 - 5) / (2 - 1) = (5/4 - 20/4) / 1 = -15/4
the average rate of change is -15/4.
