Question

Determine the correct data type (quantitative or qualitative) for the number of cars in a parking lot. Indicate whether quantitative data are continuous or discrete.

Answer 1

Answer:

Quantitative discrete data.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Data:  The number of cars in a parking lot

Thus, we can say that:

• It is a numeric data since we are counting the number of cars.
• This can always be expressed in whole numbers.
• it will always be counted and not measured.
• It cannot take any value within an interval. Thus, it cannot be expressed in decimal form.

Thus, the number of cars in a parking lot is a quantitative discrete data.
