Question

multiple choice question
identify which one of the following is a continuous quantitative variable.

the average weight of apples in a box at the market.
the number of trees in central park.
the number of holidays in a year.
the number of classes a student is taking.

Explanation:

A continuous quantitative variable can take any value within a range, including fractions/decimals, rather than only whole numbers.

• The average weight of apples can be a non-whole number (e.g., 12.3 ounces) and falls along a continuous range.
• The number of trees, holidays, and classes are discrete variables, as they only take whole, countable values.

Answer:

The average weight of apples in a box at the market.
