To find: If the probability distribution for the given data set is discrete or continuous :
Price of a gallon of premium unleaded gasoline at a randomly selected gas station.
The probability distribution is discrete .
Given information:Data set “Price of a gallon of premium unleaded gasoline at a randomly selected gas station”
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 “Price of a gallon of premium unleaded gasoline at a randomly selected gas station”. The probability distribution for this data set would be discrete because there are finite values of price at gas stations.
Therefore, the probability distribution is discrete .
