SORU:

What is the difference between continuous variables and discrete variables?


CEVAP:

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 addition to the above given illustrations, water consumption amount in a household, weights of people in a population, the speed of wind in a open certain area, waiting time in a supermarket, checkout lanes or load on a bridge are the few examples for continuous random variable for real world applications. From these examples it’s clear that random variable X can take unaccountably infinite values.
