A fitness tracker app records the number of steps a user takes each day. On January 1st, 2022, the app logged 10,000 steps for the user. Over the next month, the number of steps increased by an average of 500 steps per day.

Question

A fitness tracker app records the number of steps a user takes each day. On January 1st, 2022, the app logged 10,000 steps for the user. Over the next month, the number of steps increased by an average of 500 steps per day.

Does this situation represent discrete data or continuous data?

This situation represents discrete data.

Discrete data consists of distinct, separate values, often represented by counts, such as the number of steps taken. In this case, the number of steps taken each day is counted in whole numbers (you can't take a fraction of a step), making it discrete.

A company is designing a rectangular storage facility. The length of the facility must be 4 meters longer than three times the width to accommodate large machinery. The company has enough building materials to cover a total perimeter of 100 meters.

In the context of this problem, what are the constraints for the viable solutions?

In the context of this problem, the constraints for the viable solutions are all positive integers greater than zero.

This is because both the length and width of the storage facility must be positive values (you cannot have a negative or zero measurement in this context), and they specifically need to be integer values as they represent dimensions of a facility. Thus, the correct response is:

**All positive integers greater than zero.**

Discrete data does not require a continuous data constraint. Continuous data can take any value within a given range, while discrete data consists of specific, separate values (like counts). Each count is whole and cannot be divided into smaller increments.

So, if you have a specific option that's related to discrete data (such as counts of items, number of students, etc.), that option would NOT need a continuous data constraint.

Please provide the specific options if you want to identify which one would not need a continuous data constraint.
