Classify the following random variables as discrete or continuous:

a. X: the number of automobile accidents per year in Virginia.

b. Y : the length of time to play 18 holes of golf.

c. M: the amount of milk produced yearly by a particular cow.

d. N: the number of eggs laid each month by a hen.

e. P: the number of building permits issued each month in a certain city.

f. Q: the weight of grain produced per acre.

a. Discrete

b. Continuous

c. Continuous

d. Discrete

e. Discrete

f. Continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between discrete variable and continuous variable is that discrete variable can take a value in the form of whole numbers while continuous variable can take any form of value whole numbers or a fractions.

In other words when the values of variable can be counted then it is a discrete variable and when the values of variable can be measured then it is a continuous variable .

a.

Variable X consists of number of automobile accidents which can be counted. So, it is a discrete variable.

b.

Variable Y consists of length of time which can't  be counted but can be measured. So, it is a continuous variable.

c.

Variable M consists of amount of milk produced which can't  be counted but can be measured. So, it is a continuous variable.

d.

Variable N consists of number of eggs laid which can be counted. So, it is a discrete variable.

e.

Variable P consists of number of buildings permit issued which can be counted. So, it is a discrete variable.

f.

Variable Q consists of weight of grain which can't  be counted but can be measured. So, it is a continuous variable.

answer: e 9, 5.75

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the variation ab in the x coordinate

delta x=(x2-x1)=10-> 8 units

find the variation ab  in the y coordinate 

delta y=(y2-y1)=6-> 2 units

step 2

find the coordinates point c

  x coordinate 

cx=ax+delta x*2/> cx=2+8*(2/> cx=3

  y coordinate 

cy=ay+delta y*2/> cy=4+2*(2/> cy=4.25

the coordinates of point c are (3,4.25)

step 3

find the coordinates point d

  x  coordinate 

dx=ax+delta x*4/> dx=2+8*(4/> dx=4

  y  coordinate 

dy=ay+delta y*4/> dy=4+2*(4/> dy=4.5

the coordinates of point d are (4, 4.5)

step 4

find the coordinates point e

  x  coordinate 

ex=ax+delta x*4/> ex=2+8*(6/> ex=5

  y  coordinate 

ey=ay+delta y*4/> ey=4+2*(6/> ey=4.75

the coordinates of point e are (5, 4.75)

step 5

find the coordinates point f

  x  coordinate 

fx=ax+delta x*4/> fx=2+8*(8/> fx=6

  y  coordinate 

fy=ay+delta y*4/> fy=4+2*(8/> fy=5

the coordinates of point f are (6,5)

step 6

find the coordinates point g

  x  coordinate 

gx=ax+delta x*4/> gx=2+8*(10/> gx=7

  y  coordinate 

gy=ay+delta y*4/> gy=4+2*(10/> gy=5.25

the coordinates of point g are (7,5.25)

step 7

find the coordinates point h

  x  coordinate 

hx=ax+delta x*4/> hx=2+8*(12/> hx=8

  y  coordinate 

hy=ay+delta y*4/> hy=4+2*(12/> hy=5.5

the coordinates of point h are (8,5.5)

step 8

find the coordinates point i

  x  coordinate 

ix=ax+delta x*4/> ix=2+8*(14/> ix=9

  y  coordinate 

iy=ay+delta y*4/> iy=4+2*(14/> iy=5.75

the coordinates of point i are (9,5.75)
