    Question

    Suppose we do a probability experiment with a mass production of light bulbs. We take a sample size of 120. Define two chance variables: X is the number of bulbs that are defective, and Y is the burn time per bulb. Which random variable in this probability experiment is a discrete variable?


    1. TRUE: X is a discrete variable.
    2. FALSE: Y is a discrete variable.
    3. FALSE: X and Y are both discrete variables.
    4. FALSE: X and Y are both not discrete variables.

    1. X is a discrete variable..: Correct
    2. Y is a discrete variable :: Incorrect
    3. X and Y are both discrete variables…: Incorrect
    4. X and Y are both not discrete variables…: Incorrect
