Question

Which of these is an example of discrete data?

A. Temperature
B. Rides in an amusement park
C. Area of a room
D. Distance

Answer 1

Well, discrete data must have a finite number.
For example, the number of students in a class. This is a finite number because you can't have half of a student.
So, which of your choices will always have a finite number?

Answer 2

It would be rides because rides have lots of numbers(rides to count)

Answer 3

Yo, we can't just give out the answers.
But to also further explain why the others are incorrect:
Temperature can be 32.4 degrees, so it can't be used as discrete data.
The same goes for area of a room, say 23.5 feet.
And distance, as well.

Answer 4

C @Irrati0nal

Answer 5

It can't be C because the area of a room could be 23.5 feet, which isn't a finite number.
Now, amusement park rides are finite because there can only be a finite number of rides, say 15 rides.

Answer 6

ok then , it would not be the rest because Temperature can be 32.4 degrees, so it can't be used as discrete data.
The same goes for area of a room, say 23.5 feet.
And distance, as well.
