Our random variables in probability can be one of two types.
00:07
They could either be discrete or they could be continuous.
00:16
And in this problem, we are interested in what a continuous random variable would be.
00:22
And sometimes to describe what a continuous random variable would be, it's best to look at both and their differences.
00:29
So i like you to think of discrete variables as being specific locations on a number line.
00:44
So they can only take on specific numeric values.
01:03
So usually your discrete are countable.
01:11
So that means there's no fractions and no decimals.
01:20
So we count discrete items or discrete data, one, two, three, four.
01:26
Whereas continuous, if you think of it on a number line, it would be from a particular low point and everything in between to that high point...
