Question

What type of random variable is x?

1) Continuous random variable
2) Discrete random variable
3) Normal random variable
4) Uniform random variable

Answer 1

The random variable x is a continuous random variable that is measured, not counted.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable x is a continuous random variable. A continuous random variable is a variable whose values are obtained by measuring. In the given examples, the temperature of a randomly selected day in June and the height of a randomly selected high school student are both continuous random variables because they are measured using a thermometer and a ruler, respectively.
