Discrete Random Variable

-For first attempt, toss two coins 3 times (just toss it 3 times then list down the result).
-For second attempt, toss two coins 3 times (just toss it 3 times then list down the result); and
-Observe and explain the results in the first and second attempt

Possible Outcomes Result

TT 1 Attempt
HH TT
TH TH

The results in the 1st attempt and 2nd attempt are almost the same. The only difference
between the attempts is the arrangement of the result.

Continuous Random Variable


-List down the weight of Boston Celtics players roster (NBA 2019-2020);
-Arrange the weight in ascending order;
-Compute the average weight; and, Explain how do you understand the difference between discrete and
continuous random variable.

Players Weight (in lbs) 10. Gordon Hayward 230


1. Tremont Waters 175 11. Vincent Poirier 235
2. Kemba Walker 184 12. Grant Williams 236
3. Carsen Edwards 200
13. Semi Ojeleye 240
4. Javonte Green 205
14. Robert Williams 240
5. Jayson Tatum 210
15. Daniel Theis 245
6. Brad Wanamaker 210

8. Jaylen Brown 220 17. Enes Kanter 250
9. Marcus Smart 220 Average: 221.47

From my understanding, the difference between discrete and continuous random is that
the Discrete random variable can only take certain values, such as 1,2,3,4,5.
While Continuous random variable can take any value within a range such as a person's
height, weight, and etc.
