Question
Assertion (A): Number of members in a family is an example of discrete data whereas their heights and weights form continuous data.
Reason (R): Discrete data can be in whole numbers while continuous data can take any value within a range.
Options
Both A and R are true and R is the correct reason for A.
Both A and R are true but R is the incorrect reason for A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.

Solution
Both A and R are true and R is the correct reason for A.
Explanation:
The number of family members is discrete data since it can only be expressed in whole numbers, but heights and weights are continuous data because they can take any value within a specific range. Discrete data is countable, whereas continuous data is measurable. Hence, both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
