Question

state whether the data described below are discrete or continuous, and explain why. the heights (in feet) of different buildings. choose the correct answer below. a. the data are discrete because the data can only take on specific values. b. the data are discrete because the data can take on any value in an interval. c. the data are continuous because the data can only take on specific values. d. the data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.

Explanation:

Continuous data can take on any value within an interval. The height of buildings can be any value (e.g., 10.5 feet, 20.333... feet) within a range and is not restricted to only specific discrete values.

Answer:

D. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval
