This document provides a task to check progress on understanding discrete and continuous variables as well as sample spaces and probability distribution functions. It asks the reader to identify 5 variables as discrete or continuous, with answers provided. It then asks the reader to construct a sample space for tossing a coin 5 times, assign values to heads and tails, and make a probability distribution function for getting a head.

1. Directions: Tell whether each variable is discrete or continuous, write
your answer on the blank.
1. Time required for a vehicle to cover 20 km.( Continuous )
2. Number of airplanes in an airport. ( Discrete ) 3. Weight of the famous Victoria Secret’s models. ( Continuous ) 4. Headcount of animals in the zoo. ( Discrete ) 5. Volume of water. ( Continuous )
2. Consider tossing an unbiased coin five times:
a. Construct the sample space
S={T, T, H, H, T}
b. Assign possible values to the sample
H=2 T=3
c. Make a probability distribution function for getting a head.
