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 customers arriving at a bank between noon and 1:00 P.M.(b) The amount of snowfall(a) Is the number of customers arriving at a bank between noon and 1:00 P.M. discrete or continuous?O A. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x = 0, 1, 2,....O B. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are x≥0.O C. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are x = 0, 1, 2,...O D. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x≥0.

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Explanation:

• A discrete random variable is a variable that has a countable number of possible values.

,

• On the other hand, the value of a continuous random variable can take infinitely many values.

,

•

The number of customers arriving at a bank between noon and 1:00 P.M. is a discrete variable. The possible values are x = 0, 1, 2,...
