Answer: 3
Explanation:
We can only select two people. We could have X = 0 females chosen (ie have 2 men selected), or X = 1 female chosen (1 woman, 1 man), or X = 2 females are selected (no men are selected in this scenario). This constitutes all the possible values that X can take on. So there are three different values for X. The random variable X is a discrete variable because it can only take on finitely many whole numbers.
