Answer: E. The sizes of shoes available for sale in a department store

Step-by-step explanation:

A continuous variable is characterized by:

  • a quantitative variable capable of taking an infinite number of values between any two points.
  • a measurement of a quantity such as height, weight, length, etc.

In this scenario, options A through D represent discrete variables that can be counted.

Only option E describes the measurement pertaining to shoe sizes.

Thus, "The sizes of shoes available for sale in a department store" defines a continuous variable.

Therefore, the correct choice is "E".

What proportion of these candy bars have more than 300 calories per serving? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Inessa [3926]

Answer: 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 65 candy bars. Within this amount;

2 candy bars contain 300 to 350 calories

1 candy bar contains 350 to 400 calories

4 candy bars contain 400 to 450 calories

1 candy bar contains 450 to 500 calories

Thus, the overall ratio of candy bars with more than 300 calories is;

= (2 + 1 + 4 + 1) / 65

= 8/65

= 0.12

Jackson is conducting an experiment for his Physics class. He attaches a weight to the bottom of a metal spring. He then pulls t
zzz [4035]
The behavior of the spring can be described using either a sine or cosine function. The spring's maximum displacement is 6 inches, occurring at t=0, which we will define as the positive peak. Therefore, we can express the function as:
6sin(at+B). The spring's period is 4 minutes, which means the time factor in the equation must complete a cycle (2π) in 4 minutes. This gives us the equation 4min*a=2π, leading to a=π/2. Generally, a=2π/T where a is the coefficient and T is the period. For B, since sin(π/2)=1, we determine B=π/2 because at t=0, the equation becomes 6sin(B)=6. Therefore, we substitute to form f(t)=6sin(πt/2+π/2)=6cos(πt/2)
due to trigonometric relations.

There are seven boys and five girls in a class. The teacher randomly selects three different students to answer questions. The f
Svet_ta [4341]

The likelihood of selecting one girl is calculated as \frac{5}{12}. This is based on having 5 girls within a total of 12 students, and the probability of an event can be expressed as: \frac{\text{# of things you want}}{\text{# of things are possible}}.

Using the same reasoning, for the next student, we have reduced the number of students by 1, leading to 11 possible outcomes instead of 12, giving us:\frac{7}{11}, which represents the probability of selecting a boy as the second choice.

Lastly, the probability of choosing a girl for the third selection follows the same logic and is given as:\frac{4}{10}.

However, we must combine these individual probabilities to determine the likelihood of this specific sequence of selections occurring:

\frac{5}{12}*\frac{7}{11}*\frac{4}{10}=\frac{140}{1320}

This simplifies to:

\frac{7}{66}
