Question

Which type of data (categorical, discrete numerical, continuous numerical) is each of the following variables? (a) Number of spectators at a randomly chosen Wimbledon tennis match. Discrete numerical Continuous numerical Categorical(b) Water consumption (liters) by a randomly chosen Wimbledon player during a match. Discrete numerical Continuous numerical Categorical(c) Gender of a randomly chosen tennis player in the Wimbledon tennis tournament. Discrete numerical Continuous numerical Categorical

Answer 1

Answer:

a:) The number of spectators at random chosen Wimbledon tennis is discrete numerical because the data values are countable. A discrete numerical value cannot have any value within the limits. For example, it is impossible to observe 105.5 spectators. Numerical data usually how many are discrete.

b:) Water consumption (liters) by a randomly chosen Wimbledon player  is continuous numerical data because any value is possible within water consumption. For example, a Wimbledon player could consume 0.5, 0.59 etc. liters of water during the match.

c:) Gender if a randomly chosen tennis player is categorical data which can only be classified into two categories. male & female. Such categorical variables are binary variables.
