Which of the following numerical variables are continuous? which are discrete? a. number of injuries sustained in a fall b. fraction of birds in a large sample infected with avian flu virus c. number of crimes committed by a randomly sampled individual d. logarithm of body mass

a) b), c) are discrete variables and d) is continuous variable.

Explanation:

A continuous variable are those whose value is taking by measuring.

A discrete variable are those whose value is taking by counting.

So, a) Number of injuries sustained in a fall is done by counting - Discrete

b) Fraction of birds in a large sample infected with avian flue virus is done by counting - Discrete

c) Number of crimes committed by a randomly sampled individual is done by counting - Discrete

d) Logarithm of body mass is done by measuring - Continuous

Hence, a) b), c) are discrete variables and d) is continuous variable.

there are conflicting perceptions. what cannot be denied is that despite a long history of discrimination, they finally chose to bow out in grace and handed over power to the majority. it was a painful experience for them to part with their prerogatives and some chose to leave the country. however, they did decide to bite the bullet and go through the process with minimum obstructions.
