Solution

The discrete random variables from the list are:

  1. Number of cars in a parking lot
  2. Number of real estate agents in a town
  3. Number of jackets lost at an elementary school a day

Discrete random variables are variables that can only take on a countable number of values. The above variables are countable as you can count the number of cars, real estate agents, and jackets.

The other variables - weight of an egg, time it takes to stand in line for checkout at a grocery store, and speed of a train - are continuous variables. They can take on any value within a certain range and are not countable. For example, the weight of an egg could be any value within a certain range, not just a specific countable number.
