Answer:

Continuous Random Variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Random variables are used to quantify outcomes of a random event and their value is unknown therefore they are designated by letters.

They can be discrete where the values are specific or continuous.

Continuous random variables have values that lie within a continuous range.

Therefore, the height of a randomly selected giraffe height of randomly selected giraffe will be continuous random variable.

The giraffe were selected at random and their height will lie within continuous range.
