you make the decision to gather several coke cans and gauge the amount of soda contained in each one. assume that there are x sodas in each can. x is what kind of variable?

xxx is a continuous random variable.

Because the amount of soda in a can can take on any real value in some interval (like 349.8 ml, 350.02 ml, etc.), it is not limited to whole-number counts, which is the hallmark of a continuous variable.
