You have discrete random variables, like the one I just defined, or there are also--which take on only a finite number of values-- and we have continuous random variables that can take on any number of values along a continuum.

就像刚定义的,是一个离散型随机变量,随机变量还可以有无限种取值,也就是连续型随机变量,随机变量可以取某一区间的一切值

Because you can come up with an infinite number of values but if you have a finite amount of space and certainly a computer has a finite amount of disk space or RAM, you have to make approximations.

你可能会碰到一些无限的值,如果你只有有限的空间,废话，电脑当然只有一个有限的磁盘空间,或RAM，我们得做一些近似处理。

Right, I'm going to read in the values of the number of heads and the number of legs.

它看上去和Barnyard完全一样,现在我要读入头数和腿数。
