Select all correct answers.

Select all that apply:

• The 2015 CDC family growth survey also asked women how many cigarettes they smoked per day.

• A survey management company measured how much time each participant takes to complete a survey.

• An environmental researcher measured the average length of the fish in a certain lake.

• A librarian counted the number of books returned in a day.

Answer 1

If a variable can take on any value between two specified values, it is called a continuous variable; otherwise, it is called a discrete variable.

1. Here number of cigarettes is countable so discrete

2. Time is continuous variable as it takes value between two specified values. Hence this data is continuous

3. Length of fish takes value between two specified values. Hence this data is continuous.

4. Number of books is countable so discrete data

Hence answer here is

• A survey management company measured how much time each participant takes to complete a survey.

• An environmental researcher measured the average length of the fish in a certain lake.

Are the continuous data
