Answer: A discreet random variable

Step-by-step explanation: A random variable is any value produced based as a result of a random experiment.

A discreet random variable is one in which it outcome is countable.

Back to our question, the answer to the question can either be yes or no which are just 2 outcomes.

Since the experiment has just 2 outcomes, the outcomes are known as a discreet random variable
