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.
(i) The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x >= 0.
(ii) The random variable is discrete. The possible values are x = 0, 1, 2,...
(iii) The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x = 0, 1, 2,...
(iv) The random variable is discrete. The possible values are x >= 0.
(b) The amount of snowfall
(i) The random variable is continuous. The possible values are s = 0, 1, 2,...
(ii) The random variable is discrete. The possible values are s >= 0.
(iii) The random variable is discrete. The possible values are s = 0, 1, 2,...
(iv) The random variable is continuous. The possible values are s >= 0.
(a) (ii) The random variable is discrete. The possible values are x = 0, 1, 2,...
Discrete variables are limited in the values they can take between 9 and ∞
(b) (iv) The random variable is continuous. The possible values are s >= 0. Snowfall can be a decimal and can vary between 0 and ∞
