Answer:
a. Discrete
b. Continuous
c. Continuous
d. Discrete
e. Discrete
f. Continuous
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between discrete variable and continuous variable is that discrete variable can take a value in the form of whole numbers while continuous variable can take any form of value whole numbers or a fractions.
In other words when the values of variable can be counted then it is a discrete variable and when the values of variable can be measured then it is a continuous variable .
a.
Variable X consists of number of automobile accidents which can be counted. So, it is a discrete variable.
b.
Variable Y consists of length of time which can't be counted but can be measured. So, it is a continuous variable.
c.
Variable M consists of amount of milk produced which can't be counted but can be measured. So, it is a continuous variable.
d.
Variable N consists of number of eggs laid which can be counted. So, it is a discrete variable.
e.
Variable P consists of number of buildings permit issued which can be counted. So, it is a discrete variable.
f.
Variable Q consists of weight of grain which can't be counted but can be measured. So, it is a continuous variable.
