A discrete random variable is ________.

A) a variable that has outcomes over one or more continuous intervals of real numbers
B) a characterization of the possible values that a random variable may assume along with the probability of each value
C) a variable for which the number of possible outcomes can be counted
D) a variable for which there is only one possible value

Discrete Random Variable

A variable that takes on a countable number of distinct and separate values, often resulting from a counting process.

Outcomes

The results or consequences of actions or experiments that can be measured or observed.

Continuous Intervals

Ranges in mathematics and statistics without any breaks or discrete jumps, often used in calculations involving real numbers.
