A discrete random variable x has a countable+number of possible values.
Variables that can only take on a finite+number of values are called "discrete variables." Some quantitative variables that have are measured on a numeric or quantitative scale are discrete (like a country’s population, a person’s shoe size, or a car’s speed are all quantitative variables..etc
