Answer to Question #238999 in Statistics and Probability for Marceline Yoni

Question

You visit a meat shop and asked the seller about the total weight of meat sold in a single day. If this is a random variable, what are the possible values of this variable?

Answer 1

Solution:

Weight is considered continuous random variable.

Thus, yes, the total weight of meat sold in a single day is a random variable.

Say, X represents this random variable.

Then, the possible values of this variable are $0\le X \le a$ , where 'a' is some finite positive number.
