Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete data includes numbers that are exclusively integers, i.e, ... -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 ..... and so on. It do not include the other real numbers that are not integers. You can recognize discrete data, for example, in a grah, as there will be only isolated points and not a continuous line.

The height of a member is continuous as we can have every number between 0 and the top height. There can be 1.50 m, 1.51m, 1.5000001m, 1.65m, 1,644444449, and so on with every number (obviously, we will not have heights of 5.78 m because of simply nature). So, we discard option a.

Exactly the same as heights happens with weight. We can ahve any weight you may imagine from the less weight to the top. 100.45555555 pounds is a posible weight, for example. With this, we discard option b.

The time is also continuous. Lets think in minutes. A runner can register 7 minutes, 7.2 minutes, 7.098686 minutes, and so on for every number. We can use every fraction you imagine. So we can discard options d and e.

However the number of times is discrete, because the number of races are discrete. There are 1, 2, 3, 4,... races. We can not have 5.5 races, it is impossible. So, the number of times a runner finished ahead is discrete. There is no member that finished 7.2 times first, we can find either 7 times or 8 times, but not 7.2. So, option c is the correct.

A group of students wanted to investigate the claim that the average number of text messages sent yesterday by
Likurg_2 [28]
First we need to write the null and alternate hypothesis for this case.

Let x be the average number of text message sent. Then

Null hypothesis: x = 100
Alternate hypothesis: x > 100

The p value is 0.0853

If p value > significance level, then the null hypothesis is not rejected. If p value < significance level, then the null hypothesis is rejected.

If significance level is 10%(0.10), the p value will be less than 0.10 and we reject the null hypothesis and CAN conclude that:
The mean number of text messages sent yesterday was greater than 100.

If significance level is 5%(0.05), the p value will be greater than 0.05 and we cannot reject the null hypothesis and CANNOT conclude that:
The mean number of text messages sent yesterday was greater than 100.
