We distinguish between discrete and continuous random variables by noting whether the number of possible values is countable or uncountable.

Continuous Random Variables

Variables that can take any value within a given interval, including every possible value between any two values.

Discrete Random Variables

Variables that represent counts or numbers that can be listed and have a countable range of possible values.

  • Determine if variables are discrete or continuous through the assessment of their values being countable or uncountable.
