To find: If the probability distribution for the given data set is discrete or continuous :
Time a customer spends on hold during a call to a computer manufacturer’s tech support
The probability distribution is continuous .
Given information:Data set “Time a customer spends on hold during a call to a computer manufacturer’s tech support”
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 “Time a customer spends on hold during a call to a computer manufacturer’s tech support”.The probability distribution for this data set would be continuous because the time from the starting to end the of the call can be any number on the interval 0 to the call duration.
Therefore, the probability distribution is continuous .
