Answer: E. The shoe sizes of all shoes on sale at a department store

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous variable is defined as:

  • a numeric variable that has an infinite values between any two values.
  • a measure of a quantity like length, height, weight etc.

Here, All the options from A to D are discrete variables that are countable.

Only option E. is describing the measure as size of the shoe.

Hence, "The shoe sizes of all shoes on sale at a department store" is describing a continuous variable.

So, the correct option is "E".

Using the concept of discrete and continuous variables, the correct option is:

с  The diameters of the tree trunks at an evergreen farm

---------------------------------------

Variables are classified as either discrete or continuous.

  • If the measure only accept integer numbers, that is, countable values, it is called discrete. For example, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... Decimals are not discrete.
  • If it accepts decimal values, it is continuous.

---------------------------------------

  • Numbers of items, apps and baskets are all countable values, that is, none can assume decimal values, thus, there are discrete, and not continuous variables.
  • Shoe sizes also tend to assume non-decimal values, so also discrete.
  • Diameter tend to have decimal values, so it is a continuous variable, the correct option is c.
