Determine whether the following examples are discrete or continuous data sets. (a) The length of time it takes to fill up your gas tank. (b) The number of students applying to graduate schools. (c) The number of voters who vote Democratic. (d) The number of customers waiting in line at the grocery store.

(a) The length of time it takes to fill up your gas tank: Continuous

(b) The number of students applying to graduate schools: Discrete

(c) The number of voters who vote Democratic: Discrete

(d) The number of customers waiting in line at the grocery store: Discrete

Explanation:

Data can be either descriptive or Numerical. And Numerical Data can be Discrete or Continuous. While discrete data is counted, continuous data is measured.

Discrete Data will have specific values, such as the number of students applying to graduate schools, meaning that there´s no half a student.

On the other hand, Continuous Data can take any value within a range. Such is the case of the length of time, which can be measured by fractions of a second.
