Q. Y is the number of wheels on a randomly chosen vehicle.Is the random variable Y discrete or continuous?Choices:(A) discrete(B) continuous
Discrete random variables: Discrete random variables have countable outcomes, like the number of wheels on a vehicle (you can't have 21 a wheel).
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.
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.
