Random Variable Types
1. **Problem B: Classify the random variables as discrete or continuous.**
2. **Discrete random variables** take countable values, often integers.
3. **Continuous random variables** take any value within an interval, often measurements.
4. Classifications:
- Weight of professional boxers: **Continuous** (weight can be any value in a range).
- Number of defective COVID-19 test kits: **Discrete** (countable number).
- Area of lots in a subdivision: **Continuous** (area can be any positive real number).
- Number of recovered COVID-19 patients per province: **Discrete** (countable number).
- Number of students with Academic Excellence per district: **Discrete** (countable number).
5. **Problem C: Determine the values of the random variables in each distribution.**
6. For two coins tossed, let $H$ = number of tails.
Possible outcomes: HH, HT, TH, TT.
Number of tails $H$ can be 0, 1, or 2.
So, values of $H$ are $\{0,1,2\}$.
7. For the meeting with 4 Koreans and 2 Filipinos, selecting 3 envoys one after another.
Let $K$ = number of Koreans selected.
Minimum $K$ is 0 (no Koreans selected).
Maximum $K$ is 3 (all selected are Koreans).
Possible values of $K$ are $\{0,1,2,3\}$.
8. These values represent all possible counts of Koreans in the selected group of 3 envoys.
**Final answers:**
- B: Weight (Continuous), Defective kits (Discrete), Area (Continuous), Recovered patients (Discrete), Students with excellence (Discrete).
- C1: Values of $H$ are $\{0,1,2\}$.
- C2: Values of $K$ are $\{0,1,2,3\}$.
