The school newspaper surveyed 100 commuter students and asked two questions. First, students were asked how many courses they were currently enrolled in. Second, the commuter students were asked to estimate how long it took them to drive to campus. Considering these two variables, number of courses would best be considered a variable and drive time would be considered a variable.

Number of courses would best be considered a discrete variable and drive time would be considered a continuous variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete variable:

Countable amounts(0, 1, 2, 3,...)

Continuous variables:

Can be decimal values.

In this question:

The number of courses is a countable amount(0,1,2,3,...), you cant take half a course, for example, so it is discrete. Otherwise, drive time accepts half minutes, for example, 10.5 minutes, so is continuous.

Number of courses would best be considered a discrete variable and drive time would be considered a continuous variable.

(sin 42)/31. = sinx)/37

sinx = 37 (sin42)/31

= 37× 0.66/31 = 0.787

x= 51.9

other angle opposite to y = 180-51.9-42

= 180- 93.9 =86.1

so

sin42)/31 = sin 86.1)/y

0.021 = 0.997 /y

y= 0.997/0.021 =47.47
