Please help me verify my awnsers which one these are correct for the following questions one written one attached as pic Choose which one is which : 1 - Yes, it is a discrete Random Variable 2 - No, it is a continous Random Variable Select whether each of the following is a discrete random variable: a. The height, Xcm, of a seedling chosen randomly from a group of plants b. The number of times, R, a six is rolled when a fair dice is rolled 100 times
Continuous Probability Distributions
Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.
Normal Distribution
Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!
