Which represents continuous data? A) The number of times you flip a coin B) The number of students in a classroom C) The number of chocolate candies in a box D) The price of fish per pound

D) The price of fish per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

A continuous data is one which can take any value . it can have even value between any two consecutive number.

Example :

continuous data can have value between 4 and 5 like 4.5 4.001 and so on.

Discrete data is one which can be counted such as number of flowers, no of cars in parking.

it can take value such as 1,2, 12, 66  etc.

Let go through the option

A) The number of times you flip a coin

We can count the number of times a coin is flipped .

Like 2 times, 3 times and hence it is discrete data and not a continuous one.

B) The number of students in a classroom

Student in a classroom can also be counted.

in a class there can be 12, 50, 66 etc students not 12.1 , 50.5 etc.

hence it is discrete data and not a continuous one.

C) The number of chocolate candies in a box

Again, chocolate number can be counted .

Number of chocolate can be 2, 4, 5 and not 2.1 , 4.6 etc and

hence it is discrete data and not a continuous one.

D>The price of fish per pound

Price of fist cannot be counted . Further, price of fish can be $2.5 , $ 4.555

hence it is a continuous data.

Based on above discussion

continuous data is represented by The price of fish per pound
