What are the properties of (i) discrete random variable and (ii) continuous random variable?

Answer»

Discrete Random Variable: 

  A variable which can take only certain values.

  The value of the variables can increase incomplete numbers

•  Binomial, Poisson, Hypergeometric probability distributions come under this category 

•  Example: Number of students who opt for commerce in class 11, say 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50.

Continuous random variable: 

•  A variable which can take any value in a particular limit. 

•  Its value increases infractions but not in jumps. 

•  Normal, student’s t and chi-square distribution come under this category. 

•  Example: Height, Weight and age of family members: 50.5 kg, 30 kg, 42.8 kg and 18.6 kg.
