1. What is the difference between a discrete random variable and a continuous random variable? Provide an original example of each type of variable.

2. Solve the following problem:

About 30% of adults in United States have a college degree. Thus, theprobability that a person has a college degree is p = 0.30. If N adults are randomly selected, find probabilities that

a) exactly x out of selected N adults have a college degree,

b) less than x out of selected N adults have a college degree, and

c) greater than x out of selected N adults have college degree.

Choose your numbers for N and x. These values for N and x must be original. They must be different than the values chosen by your classmates.
