Question
Classify the random variables below according to whether they are discrete or continuous The exact time it takes to evaluate 27 + 72 The height of a randomly selected giraffe. The number of fish caught during a fishing tournament. The number of people with blood type A in a random sample of 37 people. The number of statistics students now reading a book a. Is the exact time it takes to evaluate 27 + 72 discrete or continuous? discrete continuous Is the height of a randomly selected giraffe discrete or continuous? discrete continuous Is the number of fish caught during a fishing tournament discrete or continuous?Explanation / Answer
a) In this part time is a random variable which takes any value on a real line so it is continuous random variable
b) Height is measure on continuous scale so it is a continuous variable.
c) We can count exact number of fish caught during a fishing tournament and it is discrete variable
d) there are finite values as 0, 1, 2, ...37 and we can count them so it is also a discrete variable
e) Here the random variable takes the value of student who read the books now.
Since it can be count and not take all the values in the interval so it is a discrete variable
