Which of the following experiments does NOT generate a continuous random variable? O Counting the number of customers who enter a store during the business day Recording the number of miles traveled between two locations Measuring the number of ounces of soda in a bottle Recording the amount of time that a customer waits on hold for technical support

1. **Identify the type of variable for each experiment** - **Counting the number of customers who enter a store during the business day:** This involves counting whole numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3, ...). Such counts are discrete, not continuous. - **Recording the number of miles traveled between two locations:** Miles traveled can be measured to many decimal places and can take on any value in a continuum (e.g., \( 100.5 \) miles, \( 100.55 \) miles, etc.). This is a continuous variable. - **Measuring the number of ounces of soda in a bottle:** The amount of soda can be measured to any level of precision, making this a continuous variable. - **Recording the amount of time that a customer waits on hold for technical support:** Time can be measured continuously (e.g., \( 3.5 \) minutes, \( 3.55 \) minutes, etc.), so this is a continuous variable. 2. **Conclusion** Since a continuous random variable can take on any value within an interval, and only the count of customers is a discrete count, the experiment that does **NOT** generate a continuous random variable is: \( \boxed{\text{Counting the number of customers who enter a store during the business day.}} \)
