Answer: A discrete random variable has countable numerical values (whole numbers). A continuous random variable accounts for all of the fractional parts between whole numbers. A non random variable is not a numerical value.

All of the events are sorted below:

Discrete Random:

The number of free throws.

The number of bald eagles.

The number of light bulbs.

The number of people with a certain blood type.

Continuous Random:

The distance a baseball travels.

Not a Random Variable:

The eye color of a person.
