Answer #1

Answer : if there are no restrictions provided on the measurement then height cannot be treated as the discrete random variable. It is always a continuous random variable.

But as it is given that height always has be rounded off to one decimal place. So there will be only finite values for height in such case and thus it can be treated as the discrete random variable.
