Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. a. The time it takes to fly from City Upper A to City Upper B. b. The time it takes for a light bulb to burn out. c. The number of fish caught during a fishing tournament. d. The number of textbook authors now sitting at a computer. e. The distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit. a. Is the time it takes to fly from City Upper A to City Upper B discrete or continuous? A. The random variable is discrete. B. The random variable is continuous.

a. Continuous random variable

b. Continuous random variable

c. Discrete random variable  

d. Discrete random variable

e. Continuous random variable  

a.The time it takes to fly from City Upper A to City Upper B is a continuous random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

In (c) and (d), the values of the variables can be found by counting. The number of fish and the number of textbook authors can be counted. Hence, they are discrete random variable.

In (a), (b) and (e) the values can be found by measuring. The time taken to fly, the time taken for light to travel and the distance to travel are the variable that are measured. Hence, they are continuous random variable.

the correct option is b

step-by-step explanation:

c = 0.429t

step-by-step explanation:

the constant rate at which carlos harvests cassava is 35 minutes per 15 cassavas 15/35 = 0.429 cassava per minute

therefore, an equation that models the number of cassava (c) that harvest carlos in a time (t) is the following:

where t is the time in minutes.

this means that when 35 minutes have elapsed 15 cassava have been harvested, at 70 minutes 30 cassava have been harvested and so on.
