Question

The weight of an object is an example of a. a discrete random variable. b. a continuous random variable. c. either a continuous or a discrete random variable, depending on the nature of the object. d. either a continuous or a discrete random variable, depending on the unit of measurement

Answer 1

Option B: a continuous random variable.

Explanation:

The weight of a body can be defined as the force with which the earth pulls that object towards itself.

Mathematically,

W = mg

As weight is the force with unit NEWTON so it is a continuous variable which can attain any value in decimal.
