Answer:
Discrete variable can take a limited number of values while continuous variable spans over all the values in their allowable domains. A discrete variable can be counted, while the continuous variable is measured. Based on this data, we can classify the given random variables.
a) The weight of a Upper T dash bone steak.
Weight can take any value, its not limited to some specific digits. Also weight is measured. So this variable is the continuous random variable.
b) The time required to download a file from the Internet
Time can take any value, its not limited to some specific digits. Also time is measured. So this variable is the continuous random variable.
c) The number of statistics students now reading a book
The number of students can take a fixed values and can be counted. Therefore, this is discrete random variable.
d) The number of hits to a website in a day
The number of hits to a website can take a fixed values and can be counted. Therefore, this is discrete random variable.
e) The time it takes to fly from City A to City B
Time can take any value, its not limited to some specific digits. Also time is measured. So this variable is the continuous random variable.
