A 13-ft ladder is leaning against a house. This scenario can be modeled mathematically by a right triangle. Sketch a diagram depicting this scenario and assign the variables x to the distance the base of the ladder is from the house and y to the distance the ladder reaches up the house (i.e. height).

Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could co…

Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a…
