Question

determine whether the data are discrete or continuous.
number of apps for a smartphone
○ discrete
○ continuous

Discrete data consists of distinct, separate values (like counts of items, which can only be whole numbers). The number of apps on a smartphone is a count (e.g., 1, 2, 3...), so it's discrete. Continuous data can take any value in an interval (e.g., height, weight with decimals).

Answer:
