Question

Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. In each​ case, state the possible values of the random variable. ​(a) The number of hits to a Web site in a day. ​(b) The weight of a Upper T dash bone steak. ​(a) Is the number of hits to a Web site in a day discrete or​ continuous? A. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are xequals​0, ​1, ​2,.... B. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x greater than or equals 0. C. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are xequals​0, ​1, ​2,.... D. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are x greater than or equals 0. ​(b) Is the weight of a Upper T dash bone steak discrete or​ continuous?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) C. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are xequals​0, ​1, ​2,....

b) B. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x greater than or equals 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete variables are countable in a finite amount of time. Continuous variables can be infinitely many. They rather assume values in a range.

(a) Is the number of hits to a Web site in a day discrete or​ continuous?

C. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are x equals​ 0, ​1, ​2,....

(b) Is the weight of a Upper T dash bone steak discrete or​ continuous?

B. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x greater than or equals 0.
