Question 1 Determine whether the random variable is discrete

Question 1

Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. In each case, state the possible values of the random variable.

(a)The number of point

(A) d.The random variable is discrete. The possible values are x = 0,1,2,

Reason: since the no of attempts is expressed only in positive integers it is discrete and has 0,1,2,....

(B) a.The random variable is continuous. The possible values are t > 0

Reason: time can be calibrated continuously and it is positive.
