Is a discrete variable normally described as a word?
No.A discrete variable is a variable that can not assume all possible values within a given range.For example, if I were to conduct a survey on the number of children people had, then my answers would be numbers such as 0, 1, 2 and so forth (i.e. they would be whole numbers). This particular variable could not have a value in between these (a non integer value), such as 1.345, as this makes no sense in this context. This makes the variable discrete.
What is the range of the data set 579 363 512 429 167?
The range, in one sense, is defined as the difference between the highest and lowest numbers, which in this instance is from 167 to 579. In function theory, the data set itself could be the range, if these are the only values of the independent variable for which the dependent variable is defined.
Is a negative number unreal?
No, they are quite real. It is just that in some situations it makes sense to use negative numbers, in others not.
Are there more odd numbers less than 50 than even numbers?
Let's assume for a moment we're not thinking about negative numbers. Only counting numbers from 0-49, there is the same number even as odd so the answer is no. If you didn't include 0, then the answer would be yes. If you do include negative numbers, then there are an infinite number of both odd and even numbers. In this case it doesn't seem to make sense to say there are more odd numbers than even numbers so the answer is no. In short: No. Yes if it's only 1-49.
What is the set of whole numbers closed by?
If you mean the set of non-negative integers ("whole numbers" is a bit ambiguous in this sense), it is closed under addition and multiplication. If you mean "integers", the set is closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication.
What is one negative effect that can come from applying modern values to a historical event?
If you add the modern values to it it wont make sense
What does a non-real solution suggest when using the quadratic equation?
That really depends on the situation. Just as there are cases where fractional numbers make sense and others where they don't, and just as there are cases where negative numbers make sense and others where they dont, likewise, there are situations in which complex numbers (with an imaginary part) make sense, and others in which they don't. In many practical cases they don't make sense; in this case, the non-real solution is an indication that there is no practical solution. Example: Use the quadratic formula to determine at what time an object, thrown upwards, will reach a certain height. If you get a complex solution (the discriminant is negative), this means the object will NEVER reach the specified height; it will fall back down before it reaches the desired height. In this case, the variable "time" can only have real values - imaginary values don't make physical sense. However, please note that there are also situations in which complex numbers DO make sense.

How do you find the domain and range of log5x and y5x?
The domain is the set of values that x may take that gives back an answer that makes sense. The range is the set of values that are possible results of the function. the "log" function does not accept 0 or negative values on its domain and returns negative, zero and positive numbers (ie all real values). The next function does not appear properly but you could figure it out

Why does it not make sense to use negative numbers when talking about dimensions of shapes polygons?
an object cannot take up a negative amount of space
Why does lambda not assume negative values?
There are many different contexts in which lambda is used. It is not possible to make sense of the question without knowing the context.
What is a continuous random variable?
In the simplest setting, a continuous random variable is one that can assume any value on some interval of the real numbers. For example, a uniform random variable is often defined on the unit interval [0,1], which means that this random variable could assume any value between 0 and 1, including 0 and 1. Some possibilities would be 1/3, 0.3214, pi/4, e/5, and so on ... in other words, any of the numbers in that interval. As another example, a normal random variable can assume any value between -infinity and +infinity (another interval). Most of these values would be extremely unlikely to occur but they would be possible. The random variable could assume values of 3, -10000, pi, 1000*pi, e*e, ... any possible value in the real numbers. It is also possible to define continue random variables that assume values on the entire (x,y) plane, or just on the circumference of a circle, or anywhere that you can imagine that is essentially equivalent (in some sense) to pieces of a real line.
How are negative numbers are used in the stock market?
The aforementined word negative numbers are relative but in the real sense of trading there are certain parameters we are going to consider before selecting numbers in trading to have more light on this,there is a software that helps in executing this.Here is where you can have more tips on this.debtsolverreviews.blogspot.com
Why don't negative values make sense?
It depends on the type of problem you are talking about. For example, in problems just concerning numbers and no units or words, negatives would make sense and could be logical. However, in word problems, it would obviously be illogical and absurd to answer -5 when asked, per se, how many miles Johnny has walked, or how many oranges Suzie has.
What 2 whole numbers are between 91?
The question does not make sense because "between" implies two values. There is only one given in the question.
