Which of the following represents a difference between continuous and discrete random variables?

A) Continuous random variables assume an uncountable number of values,and discrete random variables do not.
B) The probability for any individual value of a continuous random variable is zero,but for discrete random variables it is not.
C) Probability for continuous random variables means finding the area under a curve,while for discrete random variables it means summing individual probabilities.
D) All of these choices are true.

Discrete Random Variables

Variables in statistical analysis that can take on a countable number of distinct values, often representing occurrences.

Continuous Random Variables

Variables that can take on an infinite number of values within a given range.

Probability Density

A function that describes the relative likelihood for a random variable to take on a given value.
