b. Is the a discrete random variable, a continuous random variable, or not a random variable? time it takes for a light bulb to burn out 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 (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous Random Variables are variables that do not take on a distinct value. They take on values that are a range of different possibilities to infinity. In continuous random variables, the values cannot be counted. In this example, the time it takes for a light bulb to burn out can be any rational number which is greater than 0, up to infinity; for instance, it can be 24 hours, 24.5 hours, 30.8 hours, 51.2 hours etc. There is an infinite possibility of the time it takes for the bulb to burn out.

Discrete Random Variables are ones in which the variables take on distinct values and nothing in between. Here, the outcomes can be counted. For example if a coin is tossed, there are only two possibilities which can be the outcome and that is either head, or tail. The number of possible outcome is 2, and there is nothing inbetween head or tail.
