Question

The following variable is discrete ______.

Options

• time taken to run a race

• size of shoes

• temperature in a month

• distance walked by a person

Answer 1

The following variable is discrete size of shoes.

Explanation:

A discrete variable accepts only specific, distinct values, often whole numbers. Shoe size is a discrete variable since it changes in fixed steps (such as 6, 7, 8) rather than fractions, as opposed to continuous variables such as time, temperature, and distance.
