Question
Which is a continuous random variable?Y = "the arrival time of a school bus"W = "lottery winners in the past 10 years"Z = "the number of twins born in the USA last year"X = "the number of blue feathers on a Macaw Parrot"
Solution
A continuous random variable is a random variable where the data can take infinitely many values.
Y = "the arrival time of a school bus" - This is a continuous random variable. The arrival time of a school bus can take any value in a continuous range, for example, the bus can arrive at 7:00, 7:01, 7:01:30, 7:01:45, etc.
W = "lottery winners in the past 10 years" - This is a discrete random variable. The number of lottery winners can only take certain fixed values, you can't have 2.5 lottery winners.
Z = "the number of twins born in the USA last year" - This is also a discrete random variable. The number of twins born is a countable value.
X = "the number of blue feathers on a Macaw Parrot" - This is also a discrete random variable. The number of feathers is a countable value.
So, the continuous random variable among these is Y = "the arrival time of a school bus".
