What is the difference between a discrete and continuous random variable?

· A variable whose values are determined by the outcomes of a random experiment is called a random variable. A random variable is a discrete random variable if it can assume values, which are finite or countable infinite. For example, tossing of a die is a random experiment and its outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are discrete random variable. When a coin is tossed, its outcomes head and tail are discrete random variable. Three coins are thrown; the number of heads is example of discrete random variable. Note that the outcomes need ot be integers or even numbers (eg colour of eyes). · If a random variable can assume every possible value in an interval [a, b], a< b, where a and b may be - infinity and + infinity respectively, for example, the points on number line between 0 and 1; Value of 'x' between 0 and 2; Number of heads on a coin when it is tossed infinite times.

Define continuous random evevt?

Usually we consider a random variable which assigns a value to the outcome of an event. The value assigned to the outcome can be either discrete or continuous. The continuous random variable is a random variable whose domain is defined over a continuous range. Examples: Daily inches of rain, speed of cars on highway, purchases made everyday at grocery stores.
