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 hits to a Web site in a day. (b) The time it takes for a light bulb to burn out. (a) Is the number of hits to a Web site in a day discrete or continuous? A. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are x = 0, 1, 2, ellipsis B. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x = 0, 1, 2, ellipsis C. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x greaterthanorequalto 0. D. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are x greaterthanorequalto 0. (b) Is the time it takes for a light bulb to burn out discrete or continuous? A. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are t > 0. B. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are t = 1, 2, 3, ellipsis C. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are t = 1, 2, 3, ellipsis D. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are t > 0.
