Explanation / Answer

A Variable is a quantity whose value changes.

Continuous random variable: A continuous random variable is a random variable with an interval (either finite or infinite) of real numbers for its range. It may take the values in decimals.

Discrete random variable: A discrete random variable is a random variable with a finite (or countable infinite) range. They are usually integer counts.

a. The time it takes to fly from city A to city B is Continuous random variable, because time is continuous.

b. The amount of snowfall in December in City A is Continuous random variable.

c. The eye color of people on commercial aircraft flights is a discrete random variable.

d. The number of people in a restaurant that has a capacity of 250 is a discrete random variable.

e. The number of hits to a website in a day is a discrete random variable.
