Is X a discrete or a continuous random variable?

Let the random variable X be the number of employees who call in sick, on a given day, in a small

business employing 6 individuals.

  • Well, X must take values 0,1,2,3... and cannot take values like 1.37 or 5.99

    So it is a discrete variable; the values it takes are not continuous.

  • Discrete. You can get 0, 1, 2, ..., up to the number of employees, but never 1.2 or 0.47 or 1.001, etc.

    A discrete random variable doesn't have to have integer values, but any variable that only attains integer values is discrete.

  • Continuous random variable.

  • a million)x represents the variety of motorcycle accident in California discrete with the aid of fact this could't be a fragment. 2) x represents to homestead theater structures offered consistent with month at an electronics keep. discrete with the aid of fact this could't be a fragment.
