A:
Answer:a) a continuous random variable; b) a discrete random variable; c) not a random variable; d) a discrete random variable; e) a discrete random variable; f) a discrete random variableStep-by-step explanation:A continuous random variable is one that can take multiple values between whole number values; for instance, fractions and decimals.  Snowfall is a continuous random variable.A discrete random variable is one that can only take whole number values.  The number of bald eagles, the number of students reading a book, the number of people with blood type A, and the number of points scored in a  basketball game are discrete random variables.Gender of students is not a numerical value; this is not a random variable.
