Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The number of homes sold in a three week period is a discrete random variable, as it can only take on a finite set of values (i.e. whole numbers). A continuous random variable, on the other hand, can take on any value within a given range (e.g. time, temperature, height, etc.).
