In the provided dataset:

• Date: June 15, June 16
• Day of Week: Thursday, Friday
• Time Spent On Site (X): 5, 10, 20 (measured in minutes)
• Buy (Y): No, Yes

Understanding the random variable X:

The variable X represents "Time Spent on Site." It takes numerical values like 5, 10, and 20 minutes, which means it is a quantitative variable. Since these values can vary in a continuous manner and measure time, X is specifically a continuous random variable.

Characteristics of X:

• Quantitative: It represents a measurable quantity (time).
• Continuous: Time can be measured in increasingly small intervals (e.g., 5.1 minutes, 10.2 minutes, etc.).

Thus, X (Time Spent on Site) is a continuous quantitative random variable.
