Exact heights of the next 100 babies born in a region c. Responses to the survey question "What is your eye color?" d. Exact foot length of humans e. Number of people in families a. Since the outcomes are b. Since the outcomes are countable, this is this is a discrete random variable. random variable.

Answer 1

Exact heights of the next 100 babies born in a region.

Explanation:

A discrete random variable involves two key factors ; discrete and randomness ; Hence, a discrete random variable should have a finite or countable Number of outputs or values. It should also stem from a random procedure. Here, the height of the next hundred babies is a random procedure as the next 100 babies in the region are unknown until Given birth too and as such all pregnant women have the chance of having their babies among. Since, we are dealing with exact height values which are countable (100), then we this is a discrete random variable.
