Which one below is NOT one of the differences between continuous and discrete random variables?


Continuous random variables take on uncountable and infinite number of possible outcomes.

Probabilities in continuous random variables can be determined from the area under probability density function.

The range of continuous random variable X comprises all real numbers in an interval.

To describe such structures through continuous random variables density functions are utilized.

 Only in continuous random variables, the mean is a measure of the midpoint or center of the probability distribution.


Yanıt Açıklaması:

A major difference between continuous and discrete random variables is the former takes on uncountable and infinite number of possible outcomes in a given interval. Hence the range of continuous random variable X comprises all real numbers in an interval. 

In contrast to discrete random variables, probabilities in continuous random variables can be determined from the area under probability density function (pdf) which is represented by f (x).

Similar to the discrete random variable the mean is a measure of the midpoint or center of the probability distribution and the variance is a measure of the dispersion or variability for data set for continuous random variables.
