Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Body weight is a continuous variable as it can take on any value within a certain range (e.g. 50kg, 60.5kg, 70.1234kg). A and D are discrete variables as they take on specific integer values (e.g. 20 sit-ups, 5000 bathtubs). B can be considered discrete or continuous depending on the context (e.g. number of students in a class could be considered continuous if it is measured as a decimal value rather than an integer).
