Question

What type of variable describes the age of the oldest person on an adult volleyball team?

Answer 1

Answer:

there are two types of variable that can be used to describe the age of the oldest person on volley ball team. These variables include continuous and discrete; here for describing age of the oldest person on adult foot ball team, we will use continuous variable.

Explanation:

Continuous variables in research are used to take all the values within a range into consideration. Discrete variables count the individual numbers for each value i.e each person on the team. Since we need to know the oldest person on an adult volley ball team, we have to consider the ages of all the adults and cannot just count ages of individuals discretely. Hence, we will use continuous variable to measure the ages of all adults on team and find out the oldest person age value after differentiating all the age values. In continuous variable, we can have an infinite set of values to measure for finding out our desired value.
