Determine if the following random variables are discrete or
continuous. Explain your answer thoroughly. (a) The number of
blades of grass on a football field. (b) The mass, in pounds, of a
football player on the field.
Which of these variables
are discrete variables, and which are continuous random
variables?The number of new accounts established by a salesperson in a
year.The time between customer arrivals to a bank automatic teller
machine (ATM).The number of customers in Big Nick’s barber shop.The amount of fuel in your car’s gas tank last week.The outside temperature today.
Classify each of the following random variables as discrete or
continuous. a) The time left on a parking meter So, we want to ask
do we COUNT the time left on the parking meter or do we MEASURE it.
We measure the time, so measuring is continuous. b) The number of
bats broken by a major league baseball team in a season We can
count the number of physical bats there broken during a season.
Since we can COUNT it,...
