Is the number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is madea discrete random variable, a continuous random variable, or not a random variable? A. It is a discrete random variable. B. It is a continuous random variable. C. It is not a random variable.

a) Discrete random variable

Step-by-step explanation:

A discrete random variable is a variable which can only take a countable number of values, it means only take values in the natural numbers.

A continuous random variable is a random variable where the data can take infinitely many values; the random variable take values in the real numbers

Then the number of free throw attempts before the first shot is a discrete random variable because these can be counted with the natural numbers.
