The yearbook club has 5 members returning from last year. They set up a booth in the cafeteria to recruit more members, and an average of 3 new members sign up each day. Which best describes why the graph relating the total number of members on the yearbook club, m , and the number of days the booth is set up, d , will be continuous or discrete?
Answer
A
The graph will be discrete because there is no such thing as a partial person to sign up and the booth is set up once each day for sign ups.
B
The graph will be discrete because some day the number of available people to sign up for the club will run out.
C
The graph will be continuous because an end day for the booth being set up is not given in the description.
D
The graph will be continuous because there can be any number of people signing up each day since we are only given the average.
