Is the possible values for a binomial random variable the whole numbers from zero to infinity?

No. A binary distribution gives the probability of obtaining x successes in n trials, x can not be greater than n. The binomial distribution can be used for any whole number greater than 0, but the distribution is not unbounded. So let's say the binomial can determine the probability of x success in n trials where n can be from zero to some finite number less than infinity.

What is a continuous random variable?
In the simplest setting, a continuous random variable is one that can assume any value on some interval of the real numbers. For example, a uniform random variable is often defined on the unit interval [0,1], which means that this random variable could assume any value between 0 and 1, including 0 and 1. Some possibilities would be 1/3, 0.3214, pi/4, e/5, and so on ... in other words, any of the numbers in that interval. As another example, a normal random variable can assume any value between -infinity and +infinity (another interval). Most of these values would be extremely unlikely to occur but they would be possible. The random variable could assume values of 3, -10000, pi, 1000*pi, e*e, ... any possible value in the real numbers. It is also possible to define continue random variables that assume values on the entire (x,y) plane, or just on the circumference of a circle, or anywhere that you can imagine that is essentially equivalent (in some sense) to pieces of a real line.
Rolling a single die 34 times keeping track of the numbers rolled is this a bionomial distribution?
No. If you keep track of all the numbers that are rolled then there are six possible outcomes, a binomial has only two. It is a multinomial distribution.
What is the probability that the random variable has a value greater then 3.2?
It depends on the possible range of the random numbers. The question, as stated, does not have enough information to answer. Please restate the question.
Is income a categorical variable?
No. Income is a quantitative variable since it is measured in numbers instead of categories.
Difference between variable and constant in statistics?
When referring to statistics, variable means that numbers change and can go up and down. If something is constant, numbers remain unchanged.
What is a binomial in algebra?
A binomial is a polynomial with only two numbers, with at least one being a variable. Example: 2x + 6, 3x - 2, etc.
Is it possible to have a constant that is also a binomial?
Yes, as unreal numbers are constants and are expressed as binomials (2+3i) is a binomial and is also a constant.
What do you put in for the x value?
X is a variable which can be replaced with virtually anything ranging from -infinity to +infinity, imaginary numbers, other variables and even whole other functions.
Squares of all numbers which are end with 5?
There is an infinity of numbers ending in 5. It is, therefore, not possible to aanswer the question.
What is an example of an irrational but whole number?
That 's not possible since irrational numbers have infinity digits. All whole numbers are rational.
What is a finite number?
All real numbers are finite. Infinity is not a number.All real numbers are finite. Infinity is not a number.All real numbers are finite. Infinity is not a number.All real numbers are finite. Infinity is not a number.
Does a sentinel variable keep a running total?
It is not common, but possible. (If the list members are numbers.)

How much numbers are in infinity?
1 or infinity itself
How many numbers from 50 to 80?
An infinity. There is an infinity of numbers between any two numbers. I you want whole numbers, there are 31.
Is there an end to numbers?
No there isn't. Some people say that infinity is the last number but what about infinity and one and infinity and two? So basically there is no end to numbers. To infinity and beyond!
What is 2 power to infinity?
If you raise 2 to an infinite power, you get a higher-order infinity. It is still infinity, but a larger number. For example, 2 to the power beth-0 is equal to beth-1; 2 to the power beth-1 is equal to beth-2, etc. Beth-0 is the infinity of counting numbers and integers, beth-1 is the infinity of real numbers, and with beth-2, it gets a bit hard to visualize. Among other things, beth-2 is the infinity of all possible functions over real numbers.
