Q. Z is the number of desserts available in a randomly chosen restaurant.Is the random variable Z discrete or continuous?Choices:(A) discrete(B) continuous
Whole Number Desserts: The number of desserts can only be whole numbers; you can't have half a dessert on the menu. So, Z is a count of items.
Distinct Values for Z: Since Z counts whole items, it's not something that can take on any value in an interval. It's not like measuring something where you can have fractions or decimals.
Z is Discrete: So, Z is a type of random variable that takes on separate, distinct values. That's what discrete means, so Z is discrete.
