Explanation:
A random variable can be described as the numerical value of the outcome of a particular phenomena. There are two general types of random variables: discrete and continuous. A discrete random variable is a variable whose value is determined through counting. On the other hand, continuous random variables are derived through measurements and calculations; therefore the correct answer is "number of students in a classroom."
