a. Differentiate between a discrete random variables and continuous random variables. b. Forty percent of all tourists who attend a charity event will make a donation. Six tourist will attend the event and whether each one makes a donation or not is independent of the others' choices. Let X denote the random variable representing the numbers who will make a donation. i. State the probability distribution of X and specify its parameters Calculate the probability that ii. iii. iv. V. exactly five will make a donation at most 2 will make a donation The mean of this distribution The standard deviation of this distribution
