Answer 1

Answer:

A discrete variable is a variable whose value is obtained by counting. A continuous variable is a variable whose value is obtained by measuring. ... A discrete random variable X has a countable number of possible values. Example: Let X represent the sum of two dice.

Answer 2

Distinguish between a discrete and continuous variable:

1.

Discrete Variable

• It is a variable whose value is obtained by counting.

Continuous Variable

• It is a variable whose value is obtained by measuring.

2.

Example of Discrete Variable:-

• Number of planets around the Sun
• Number of students in a class
• Examples of continuous variable

Example of Continuous Variable:-

• Number of stars in the space
• Height or weight of the students in a particular class

3.

• Discrete variable: Range of specified numbers is complete.

• Continuous variable: Range of specified numbers is incomplete, i.e. infinite.

4.

• Discrete variable: It assumes a distinct or a separate value.

• Continuous variable: It assumes any value between two values.
