d) the ages of the account user watching the show

e) how the user found the show (search bar, recommended show, or browsing session)

f) the name of the show being watched

g) the number of times the show has been watched in the last month by the user

Explanation:

Categorical variables are non - numerical, representing types or categories. Quantitative discrete variables are countable whole numbers. Quantitative continuous variables can take any value in an interval.
a) The type of show is non - numerical, so it's categorical.
b) Binge - watching time can take any value in an interval (e.g., 1.5 hours), so it's quantitative continuous.
c) The number of account users is a countable whole number, so it's quantitative discrete.
d) Ages can take any value in an interval (e.g., 25.5 years), so it's quantitative continuous.
e) How the user found the show is non - numerical, so it's categorical.
f) The name of the show is non - numerical, so it's categorical.
g) The number of times watched is a countable whole number, so it's quantitative discrete.

Answer:

a) C. Categorical
b) QC. Quantitative Continuous
c) QD. Quantitative Discrete
d) QC. Quantitative Continuous
e) C. Categorical
f) C. Categorical
g) QD. Quantitative Discrete
