Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Real World Discrete and Continuous Data by katie jamieson worksheets library
▼
Let's solve each part of the problem by understanding what type of data each piece of information represents.

We are given three types of data to choose from:

- Qualitative: Describes qualities or characteristics (e.g., color, brand, type). It is not numerical.
- Continuous: Numerical data that can take any value within a range (e.g., height, weight, age — measured in decimals).
- Discrete: Numerical data that can only take specific, separate values (e.g., number of doors, number of passengers).

Now let’s analyze each sentence:

---

(a) The number of doors is ................. data.

- The number of doors is a countable number (e.g., 2 doors, 4 doors).
- It cannot be 2.5 doors — it must be a whole number.
- So this is discrete data.

✔ Answer: Discrete

---

(b) The age of each car is ................. data.

- Age can be measured in years, months, days, etc.
- For example, a car could be 3.5 years old, or 2.75 years old.
- Since age can take any value within a range (including decimals), it is continuous data.

✔ Answer: Continuous

---

(c) The colour of the car is ................. data.

- Colour is a descriptive attribute (e.g., red, blue, black).
- It is not numerical and describes a quality.
- This is qualitative data.

✔ Answer: Qualitative

---

Final Answers:



(a) The number of doors is discrete data.
(b) The age of each car is continuous data.
(c) The colour of the car is qualitative data.

✔️ All answers use words from the provided list and correctly classify the data types.
