Understand the difference between discrete and continuous random variables. A discrete random variable takes on countable values, often integers, such as counts of occurrences.
Identify examples of discrete random variables in the options: 'The number of heads in 10 coin tosses', 'The result of rolling a standard six-sided die', and 'The number of cars in a parking lot' are all countable and finite, so they are discrete.
Recognize that a continuous random variable can take any value within an interval, often representing measurements like time, length, or weight.
Analyze the option 'The amount of time it takes for a student to complete an exam' as a measurement that can vary continuously and is not restricted to countable values.
Conclude that the continuous random variable example is 'The amount of time it takes for a student to complete an exam' because time can be measured with infinite precision within a range.
