Is the a discrete random variable, a continuous random variable, or not a random variable? response to the survey question "Did you smoke in the last week?" 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 discrete random variable. (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete Random Variables are variables that have distinct values. The number of variables that can be taken on can be counted. in this example, the variables to the question Did you smoke in the last week? is one of two possibilities; yes or no. Apart from these two values, there is no other possibility for the variables, hence it is a discrete random variable

Continuous Random Variables are values that can take on any value between distinct values, even up to infinity. The number of values that the variables can take on cannot be counted or listed. For example, is there are variables for the possible temperature that a particular city can take on in a day, the values are continuous random variables because the values do not have any distinct value, and the possibilities cannot be counted. the possibilities can be; anywhere between 20°C to 50°C. between these two, temperatures, you can have infinite possibilities; 20.1, 30.5, 40.8, etc. Hence the values cannot be counted, it is thus a continuous random variable.
