Question

a scientist is studying the characteristics of butterflies and collects a random sample of butterflies to measure. information regarding the wingspan of the butterflies is shown in the histogram below. which of the following is a true statement regarding the information shown in the histogram? wingspan is a categorical variable. wingspan is a discrete quantitative variable. wingspan is a continuous quantitative variable. frequency is a continuous quantitative variable.

Explanation:

A continuous quantitative variable can take on any value within a certain range. Wingspan can have an infinite number of values within a range (e.g., 4.51, 4.511 etc.), and is measured on a continuous scale. Frequency is a count and is a discrete quantitative variable. Since the question is about wingspan, and it can have non - integer and infinite values within a range, it is a continuous quantitative variable.

Answer:

Wingspan is a continuous quantitative variable.
