a. Is the a discrete random variable, a continuous random variable, or not a random variable? amount of rain in City B during April A. It is a discrete random variable. B. It is a continuous random variable. C. It is not a random variable.

The correct answer is:

It is a continuous random variable. (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous random variables are variables that take on infinite possibility of values, hence the number of possible outcomes of a random variable cannot be counted. For instance, in this example, the amount of rainfall measured using a rain guage or a pluviometer has infinite possibilities of outcomes. it can either be 22.3 Liters, 20.1 Liters etc, up to infinity, in fact between 20 and 21 litres, there is an infinite possibility of outcomes.

Discrete random variables are variables that have a finite possibility of outcomes. the possibilities of occurrences can be counted. For example, if a coin is tossed, the coin can either land on its head or tail, hence there are two possibilities, making the variables discrete
