Q. Y Y is the number of desserts available in a randomly chosen restaurant.\newlineIs the random variable Y Y discrete or continuous?\newlineChoices:\newline[A]discrete \text{[A]discrete} \newline[B]continuous \text{[B]continuous}
  1. Random Variable YY: The random variable YY represents the number of desserts available, which can only take on distinct, separate values (e.g., 11 dessert, 22 desserts, 33 desserts, etc.). It cannot take on all values within an interval because you cannot have a fraction of a dessert in this context.
  2. Distinct Values: Since YY can only take on distinct, separate values and cannot be a fraction, YY is a discrete random variable.
