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.
Javad had a mix of yellow and red jellybeans as shown on the
graph. If there are 40 total jellybeans in his bag, how many
are red?
Hi there!!
The ratio of red jelly beans to yellow is 7:3.
There are 40 jelly beans.
7+3 is 10.
40/10 is 4.
7*4 is 28.
Therefore, 28 jelly beans are red.
Subtract a4 + 4a²b2 – 2b^4 from –3a^4 + 5a²b2 + 2b^4 - Your answer should be a polynomial in standard form.
Answer:
4a^4-4b^4-5a^2b^2
Step-by-step explanation:
find common variables and subtract/add
a^4+3a^4=4a^4
-2b^4-2b^4=-4b^4
0-5a^2b^2=-5a^2b^2

Find the equation of the line which has slope 7 and y-intercept 2. Give your answer in the form y=mx+b
Answer:
y=7x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is in slope intercept form, you can simply subsitute the m(slope), into 7, and the b(y-intercep) into 2.
Hope it helped!
The equation of the line is y = 7x + 2.
What is the equation of a line?The equation of a line is given as
y = mx + c
Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
m = 7 and c = 2
The equation of a line is,
y = mx + c
y = 7x + 2
Therefore, the equation of the line is y = 7x + 2.

What is the weight of a dry substance in 150 g of a 3% substance solution?
4.5 g 56.25 g Since the only type of measurement mentioned in this question is weight or mass, I'll assume that the percentage concentration is % m/m (mass/mass). For that type of concentration measurement, simply multiple the percentage by the total mass to get the mass of the desired substance. So 150 g * 3% = 150 g * 0.03 = 4.5g For the amount of 8% solution with the same amount of dry substance, there's 2 ways of calculating the mass of solution. First, use the ratio of percentages, multiplied by the mass of the original solution to get the desired amount of new solution: 3/8 * 150 g = 56.35 g Or calculate it from scratch, like 4.5/X = 8/100 450/X = 8 450 = 8X 56.25 = X In both cases, the result is that you desire 56.25 grams of 8% solution.

9. The height of a triangle is 3 inches less than twice the length of its base. If the total area
of the triangle is 7 square inches, then find the lengths of the base and height.
Check the picture below.
[tex]\textit{area of a triangle}\\ A = \cfrac{1}{2}bh~~ \begin{cases} A = area\\ b = base\\ h = height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ A = 7\\ h = 2b - 3 \end{cases}\implies 7 = \cfrac{1}{2}b(2b-3)\implies 7=\cfrac{b(2b-3)}{2} \\\\\\ 14 = b(2b-3)\implies 14 = 2b^2-3b\implies 0 = 2b^2-3b-14[/tex]

a patient is prescribed motrin 800mg, 1 tablet 3 times daily. What would the days supply be for 30 tablets?
Based on the number of tablets to be taken per day, the days supply for 30 tablets would be 10 days.
The patient is to take a tablet 3 times a day which means that they are to take:
= 1 x 3
= 3 tablets daily
If they have 30 tablets, this will last:
= Number of tablets / Tablets per day
= 30 / 3
