Question

Which of the following variables are discrete?

Options

• daily temperature of your city

• sizes of shoes

• distance travelled by a man

• time

Answer 1

sizes of shoes

Explanation:

A discrete variable can only take on specific, countable values, much like shoe sizes which come in fixed standard increments (e.g., 7, 8, 9). Temperature, distance, and time are continuous variables because they can take any exact measurable value including infinite fractional possibilities within a continuous range.
