Document Summary
6. 1. 1 distinguish between discrete and continuous random variables (1 of 4) A random variable is a numerical measure of the outcome from a probability experiment, so its value is determined by chance. Random variables are denoted using letters such as x. 6. 1. 1 distinguish between discrete and continuous random variables (2 of 4) A discrete random variable has either a finite or countable number of values. The values of a discrete random variable can be plotted on a number line with space between each point. 6. 1. 1 distinguish between discrete and continuous random variables (3 of 4) A continuous random variable has infinitely many values. The values of a continuous random variable can be plotted on a line in an uninterrupted fashion. 6. 1. 1 distinguish between discrete and continuous random variables (4 of 4) Example distinguishing between discrete and continuous random variables. Determine whether the following random variables are discrete or continuous.
