15) The school newspaper surveyed 100 commuter students and asked two questions. First, students were asked how many courses they were currently enrolled in. Second, the commuter students were asked to estimate how long it took them to drive to campus. Considering these two variables, number of courses would best be considered a ___________ variable and drive time would be considered a _____________ variable.

Let X1, X2,...X100 be the annual average temperature in Paris in the years 2001, 2002, ..., 2100, respectively. Assume that average annual temperatures are sampled i.id. from a continuous distribution.(Note: For this problem, we assume the temperature distribution doesn't change over time. With global warming, this is not a good assumption.)A year is a record high if its average temperature is greater than those in all previous years (starting with 2001), and a record low if its average temperature islower than those in all previous years. By definition, the year 2001 is both a record high and a record low.1. In the 20 century (the years 2001 through 2100, inclusive), find the expected number of years that are either a record high or a record low.2. Let N be an r.v. representing the number of years required to get a new record high after the year 2001. Find P(N > n) for all positive integers n, and use thisto find the PMF of N.3.
