Question

arnie is practicing shooting free throws. he will shoot 10 times per minute for 12 minutes. would the graph that describes this situation be continuous or discrete? discrete continuous cannot be determined

Explanation:

A discrete graph has distinct, separate points. In this situation, the number of free - throws Arnie shoots is a countable quantity (he can't shoot a fraction of a free - throw). Each data point (number of free - throws at a particular minute) is separate. A continuous graph would represent a situation where the variable can take any value within an interval (e.g., time itself is continuous, but the number of free - throws is not).

Answer:

discrete
