Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. a. The distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit. b. The number of textbook authors now sitting at a computer. c. The weight of a Upper T dash bone steak. d. The number of fish caught during a fishing tournament. e. The number of hits to a website in a day. a. Is the distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit discrete or continuous? A. The random variable is continuous. B. The random variable is discrete. b. Is the number of textbook authors now sitting at a computer discrete or continuous? A. The random variable is discrete. B. The random variable is continuous. c. Is the weight of a Upper T dash bone steak discrete or continuous? A. The random variable is continuous. B. The random variable is discrete. d. Is the number of fish caught during a fishing tournament discrete or continuous? A. The random variable is continuous. B. The random variable is discrete. e. Is the number of hits to a website in a day discrete or continuous? A. The random variable is discrete. B. The random variable is continuous.

Discrete random variables can be counted as integers and you can't divide them. Continuous random variables are counted as real numbers and are magnitudes that can´t be counted as an exact number (there will always be an uncertainty in the measurement).

a. The random variable is continuous. Distance is a measurement.

b. The random variable is discrete. You can count how many people are sitting at a computer.

c. The random variable is continuous. Weight is a measurement.

d. The random variable is discrete. You can count how many fishes were caught.

e. The random variable is discrete. You can count how many hints a web site had.
