Question

Management at a home improvement store randomly selected 45 customers and observed their shopping habits. They recorded the number of items each of the customers purchased as well as the total time the customers spent in the store. Identify the types of variables recorded by the managers of the home improvement store.

Answer 1

Answer:

c. number of items - discrete; total time - continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete due to the lack of the following options:

to. number of items - continuous; total time - discrete

b. number of items - continuous; total time - continuous

c. number of items - discrete; total time - continuous

d. number of items - discrete; total time - discrete

Knowing this, the type of variables recorded by managers of the home improvement store are,

c. number of items - discrete; total time - continuous

Discrete variables are those that are well defined and in the finite set of values and continuous variables are variables that can take a value between any of the other two values.
