Determine whether each of the following variables would best be modeled as continuous or discrete. a. The number of hits to a website in a day. b. The height of a randomly selected giraffe. c. The weight of a Upper T dash bone steak. d. The number of points scored during a basketball game. e. The amount of snowfall.

a) Discrete

b) Continuous

c) Continuous

d) Discrete

e) Continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

A discrete variable can assume only integer(countable) values. For example, 0, 1, 2,...

A continuous variable can assume decimal values. For example, 2.3

a. The number of hits to a website in a day.

Number of people who go to the website, so this is an integer. Discrete.

b. The height of a randomly selected giraffe.

A giraffee can weight 2.35m, for example. So continuous

c. The weight of a Upper T dash bone steak.

The weight can be 10.5 lbs, for example. So continous

d. The number of points scored during a basketball game.

You can't score half points, so discrete.

e. The amount of snowfall.

It can be 10.5 inches, for example, so continuous.
