Give a reallife example of 1 a continuous and 2 a discrete n

Give a real-life example of 1) a continuous and 2) a discrete number data set.

Solution

Continuous:
Examples:
• The height of a horse (could be any value within the range of horse heights).
• Time to complete a task (which could be measured to fractions of seconds).
• The outdoor temperature at noon (any value within possible temperatures ranges.)
• The speed of a car on Route 3 (assuming legal speed limits).

Discrete:
• The number of people in your class (no fractional parts of a person).
• The number of TV sets in a home (no fractional parts of a TV set).
• The number of puppies in a liter (no fractional puppies).
• The number of questions on a math test (no incomplete questions)
