Determine if the given situation results in a discrete random variable, a continuous random variable, or is not a random variable.

Understanding the situation

The speed of a car on the highway is a measurable quantity that can take any value within a range (e.g., 0 km/h to 120 km/h).

Identifying the type of random variable

Since the speed can take any value within a continuous range and is not limited to specific, countable values, it is a continuous random variable.

\\(\boxed{\text{Continuous random variable}}\\)

\\(\boxed{\text{Continuous random variable}}\\)
