please help with attached Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. In each case, state the possible values of the random variable. (a) The number of fish caught during a fishing tournament. (b) The time required to download a file from the Internet (a) Is the number of fish caught during a fishing tournament discrete or continuous? A. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x greater than equal to O. B. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are x =0, 1, 2,?. C. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x = 0, 1, 2,?. D. The random variable is discrete- The possible values are X greater than equal to 0. (b) Is the time required to download a file from the Internet discrete or continuous? A. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are t> 0. B. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are t> 0 C. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are t = 1, 2, 3,.... D. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are t = 1, 2, 3

Solution

a) Number of fishes is a counting variable and can only take discrete values, i.e, option (B)

b) Time is clearly continous variable, correct option is (A)
