You can put this solution on YOUR website! A) the number of tickets purchased by a caller on a rose Bowl ticket hotline -- Discrete (this is a finite number)
B) The mass of the solid impurities per mililiter of Los Angeles tap water -- Continuous (mass is any nonnegative real number)
C) The time that a student in Calculus 101 takes to complete a midterm exam -- Continuous (time is any nonnegative real number)
D) The amount of coffee in a cup dispensed by a coin-operated coffee machine -- Continuous (volume is any nonnegative real number)
