(a) The value of x for a person who draws a line segment that is 5.3 inches long would be (5.3 - 5) = 0.3 inches.
(b) x is a continuous random variable. This is because x can take on any value between the range of actual lengths measured and 5 inches. It is not restricted to only specific values but can vary continuously within a range.
