Question

The number of accidents in a week is ___________?a continuous random variable.a discrete random variable.neither continuous nor discrete variable.continuous and discrete variables.

Answer 1

a discrete random variable.

Discrete variables are countable in a finite amount of time

Continuous variables would take forever to count. Hopefully we do not have that many accidents. Continuous variables would be like time.

Discrete things are things we can count and thats it, like the amount of change in your pocket, or the number of tic tacs in the container.
