Question

Classify the following as discrete or continuous random variables

a. The weight of bags of apples, with 20 apples in a bag

b. The number of times required for a modem to dial an internet provider before connecting

c. A pair of dice is rolled, and the sum to appear on the dice is recorded

d. The time it takes to complete an exercise session.

Answer 1

ok well a) is continuous, b) discrete, c) discrete, d) continuous

you know if it's discrete as you count the objects or whatever and with continuous you have to measure, eg. for the weight you need to measure it and with the number of times... you count the amount of times.

hopefully that makes sense

Answer 2

I don't know much about descrete or continuous random variables, but if I had to make an educated guess, I would say they are all continuous random variables, but don't take my word for it.
