Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of obtained heads when a fair coin is tossed 20 times is a discrete variable as it can only take on specific integer values (0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 20) and not any value in between. The other options (height, time, temperature) are continuous variables as they can take on any value within a range.
