Answer 1

$\huge\bold{\boxed{\mathtt{\red{Answer}}}}$

The following are examples of discrete variables:

☑️The number of cars sold by a car dealer in one month

☑️The number of students who were protesting the tuition increase last semester

☑️The number of applicants who have applied for a vacant position at a company

☑️The number of typographical errors in a rough draft of a book

Answer 2

$\huge\red{\boxed{\bold{Answer}}}$

Discrete Variables can meaningfully have only specific values:

Number of coin flips: 4. (It can't meaningfully be 4.3)

Number of books published: 2. (It can't meaningfully be 2.1)

Distance walked, rounded to the nearest kilometer: 3 (We rounded it, so it can't be 3.2)
