True
There are only two possible outcomes for each trial, success and failure.
Binomial Experiment
Five balls numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are placed in a box. One is selected, its number is noted

It represents the numerical value of a simple event of an experiment.
Random variables
These are random variables that can take on any of the countless number of values in an
interval.
Continuous random variables
Five balls numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are placed in a box. One is selected, its number is noted

This is a complete description of all the possible values of the random variable, along with
their associated probabilities.
Probability Distribution
The experiment consists of counting the number of events that will occur during a specific
interval of time or in a specific distance, area, or volume.
