decide whether the graph represents a discrete random variable or a continuous random variable. explain your reasoning.\nthe annual traffic fatalities in a country\n37000 38000 39000 40000\n...\ndoes the graph represent a discrete or continuous random variable? choose the correct answer below.\na. continuous, because number of fatalities is a random variable that is uncountable\nb. discrete, because number of fatalities is a random variable that is countable
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Discrete random variables take on countable values. The number of annual traffic fatalities can be counted (e.g., 37000, 38000 etc.), it cannot take on any value in - between these whole - number values. Continuous random variables can take on any value in an interval. Since the number of fatalities is countable, it is a discrete random variable.
Answer:
B. Discrete, because number of fatalities is a random variable that is countable
