1. What is an example of a particular object that can be both discrete and continuous, although at different times?

2. Suppose we need to calculate [ p / (1-p) ] / [q / (1-q) ] where p = 71/917 and q = 1/917. I would like you to do this problem twice. The first time, round each of p, 1-p, q, and 1-q to 3 decimal places, calculate [ p / (1-p) ] / [q / (1-q) ], and round the final answer to the nearest whole number. The second time, keep as many decimal places as your calculator or computer allows, calculate [ p / (1-p) ] / [q / (1-q) ], and round the final answer to the nearest whole number. What are the two answers you get? Which one is correct, and why?
