<span>The number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is missed number of free-throw attempts before the first shot is missed is an example of a discrete random variable. A discrete random variable has a probability distribution can give any possible value and the probability of that value in any given data presentation such as graph, table or formula. They are called discrete random variables because they show a specific number of finite or countable infinite values after an event has happened. In here, the number of free throw attempts wit or without missing the first shot can be counted thus making it a discrete random variable.</span>
