Step-by-step explanation:

Quantitative and Qualitative:

• The data that can be expressed with the help of numerical are know as quantitative variable.
• Qualitative variable is the non parametric variable and numerical does not describe the data

Discrete and Continuous data:

• Discrete data are expressed in whole number and cannot take all the values within an interval.
• Continuous variable can be expressed in decimals and can take any value within an interval.

a) The number of students in your school.

Since whole numbers are used to express number of children it is a discrete and continuous data.

These are continuous data as height is measured and can be expressed in decimals.
