Answer 1

Option B is correct.

John wants to find the center of a wall so he can hang a picture. He measures the wall and determines it is 65.25" wide.

Here, 65.25" is Quantitative, continuous

There are two types of quantitative data or numeric data: continuous and discrete.

As a general rule, counts are discrete and measurements are continuous. A continuous data can be recorded at many different points (length, size, width, time, temperature, etc.)

So, option B is the answer.
