Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. In each​ case, state the possible values of the random variable. ​(a) The number of people in a restaurant that has a capacity of 300. ​(b) The weight of a Upper T dash bone steak.

Answer:

a) Discrete random variable

b) Continous random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) As the number of people can take only integer values, from 0 to n (0, 1, 15, 256, for example, but not 5.6) and not decimals values, we can say that it is a discrete variable.

b) In this case, the weight of a Upper T dash bone steak is a physical variable and can take decimals positive values (0.645 lbs for example).

Then, this variable is a continous variable.
