To find: If the probability distribution for the given data set is discrete or continuous :
Distance from an arrow’s impact point to the center of the bullseye
The probability distribution is continuous .
Given information:Data set “Distance from an arrow’s impact point to the center of the bullseye”
Explanation:
A discrete probability distribution has a finite number of possible events or values.
A continuous probability distribution can be any value in an interval of real numbers.
Here, the given data set is “distance from an arrow’s impact point to the center of the bullseye”.The probability distribution for this data set would be continuous because the distance between the arrow and the center of the bull’s eye can be any number on the interval 0 to the radius of the board.
Therefore, the probability distribution is continuous .
