Solve the following problem :

Identify the random variable as discrete or continuous in each of the following. Identify its range if it is discrete.

Amount of syrup prescribed by a physician.

योग

उत्तर

Let X = amount of syrup prescribed by a physician.
Here, X can take any positive or fractional value, i.e, X takes uncountably infinite values.
∴ X is a continuous r.v.
