Full solution

Q. YY is the number of wheels on a randomly chosen vehicle.\newlineIs the random variable YY discrete or continuous?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)\text{(A)} discrete\newline(B)\text{(B)} continuous\newline
  1. Discrete random variables: Discrete random variables have countable outcomes, like the number of wheels on a vehicle (you can't have 12\frac{1}{2} a wheel).
  2. Continuous random variables: Continuous random variables have an infinite number of possible values within a range, which doesn't apply to the number of wheels on a vehicle.
  3. extit{Y} as a discrete random variable: Since we can count the number of wheels and it can only be whole numbers, extit{Y} is a discrete random variable.
