PLEASE HELP :( Which of these is an example of a discrete random variable? A. Number of siblings B. Length of a fish C. Weight of a child D. Hours worked at a job

A

explanation please :)

Because the other three would be less random, because for example, an average number of hours worked at a job, can be guessed at around 8, and for certain ages, there are averages of weight a child can be. It would be a random guess at how many siblings a person has. It could range from none to maybe 10, so it's the most discrete...
