Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. in each case, state the possible values of the random variable. (a) the number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is made. (b) the time it takes for a light bulb to burn out.

A=discrete; B=continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is = discrete

(b) The time it takes for a light bulb to burn out.=continuous

Discrete variables are countable in a finite amount of time such as the case of free dash throw attempts

Continuous Variables are more difficult to count. In statistics, time is a Continuous Variable
