Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continu

Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous In each case, state the possible values of the random variable. (a) The number of free-throw attempts before the first shot is made. (b) The time it takes to fly from City A to City B. (a) Is the number of free-throw attempts before the first shot is made discrete or continuous? The random variable is discrete. The possible values are x = 0, 1, 2 The random variable is continuous The possible values are x =0, 1, 2 The random variable is discrete- The possible values are X > = 0. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are X > = 0. (b) Is the time it takes to fly from City A to City B discrete or continuous? The random variable is discrete. The possible values are t > 0. The random variable is continuous The possible values are t = 1, 2, 3 The random variable is discrete. The possible values are t = 1, 2, 3 The random variable is continuous. The possible values are t > 0.

Solution

a)

A. The random variable is discrete. Possible values are x=0,1,2,
