Type of variable

[bandula]

please help me to find the type of variable x in question 1

1. Weight of boys are measured. let x be random variable denoted as weight exceeds 50 kg , x= 0.65 otherwise x=0.35 then x is desecrate or continuous ?
science weight is continuous then can we get x is also continuous?

You mean discrete, not desecrate!

How many values can x take?

Is it an actual weight?

x can take only 2 values that x=0.65 or x=0.35 it is not actual weight so we can say x is desecrate variable. is it correct ?

We CAN say it, but it is wrong. We should say x is a discrete variable rather than a desecrate variable.

Thanks a lot . that is my spelling mistake. correct word is discrete
