Answer:

I believe that it should be Y; Height of an emperor penguin on Antarctica

Answer:

Z = "results of flipping two coins"

Step-by-step explanation:

A discrete variable is one which can take only certain values and usually represents values that are counted. The result of flipping two coins can only take a certain number of values of heads or tails (1 head and 1 tail, two heads, or two tails); therefore it is a discrete variable.

A continuous variable is one which can take any value, and usually represents values that are measured. The rest of the options provided (W, X, and Y) are all measurements, and are therefore continuous, not discrete.

Also, among the options presented, option Z is the only one which is "random".
