Question

Each of the following represents a possible independent variable and could therefore be indicated on the X axis of a graph. Select whether each variable is discrete or continuous.

                           [ Select ]                       ["Discrete", "Continuous"]         Length of a frog's hind legs.

                           [ Select ]                       ["Continuous", "Discrete"]         Average ACT score of incoming freshmen at OU.

                           [ Select ]                       ["Continuous", "Discrete"]         Sex of the participants in a study.

                           [ Select ]                       ["Continuous", "Discrete"]         Favorite color of toddlers.

Answer 1

Continuous are those values which are measurable but not countable. for example size of plant, height of an individual.

Discrete values are those values which are countable like number of digits, number of plants.

I. discrete we talk about numbers and in continuous we talk about measurements.

Length of the frog hind lag = continuous

Average ACT score of freshman at OU. = Discrete

Sex of the participants in a study = Discrete

​Favorite color of toodler = Discrete
