Which one of the following is NOT an example of discrete data? A. Number of employees reporting in sick B. Number of households watching the Home Shopping Network C. Number of miles between New York City and Chicago D. Number of members of the Denver Lions Club

Answered by maham237 @ 25/12/2020

Answer:

NOT an example of discrete data: (C) Number of miles between New York City and Chicago.

Step-by-step explanation:

A set of numerical data is said to discrete if the data set consists of finite number of observations and the values are distinct or separate values.

A numerical set of data is said to be continuous if the data set consists of infinite number of observation in a specified interval.

Consider the options one at a time:

A. Number of employees reporting in sick

The data set of the number of employees reporting in sick will be discrete because this set will consist of distinct values. For instance, 2 employees, 6 employees, 10 employees as so on.

B. Number of households watching the Home Shopping Network

This data set will also be discrete because the number of households watching a TV show will consists of whole numbers.

C. Number of miles between New York City and Chicago

The data set of the number of miles between point A and B will be continuous because it cannot assume distinct values or the distance in miles can assume any values in a provided interval.

D. Number of members of the Denver Lions Club

This data set will be discrete because the number of members in a club assumes distinct whole numbers.

Thus, the correct option is (C).
