      Answer #1

      a) X represent the length of movie. The lenght movie is any continues value.

      For ex 2.3 hours, 3.56 hours, 2.34 hours

      That is it is any continues value.

      Therefore, X is continues random variable.

      b) X represent the no of movie playing in the theatre.

      The no of movies play in theatre can take any discrete value that is 1 movie, 5 moview, 10 movies. We can not say 2.5 movies.

      Therefore x takes only discrete values.

      X is discrete random variable.
