Question

Yesterday, 11 inches of snow fell. Determine whether the data value is from a discrete or continuous data set.
1)It is from a discrete data set because the set has infinitely many possible values.
2)It is from a discrete data set because the set has a finite number of possible values.
3)It is from a continuous data set because the set has a finite number of possible values.
4)It is from a continuous data set because the set had infinitely many possible values.

The correct answer is:

**4) It is from a continuous data set because the set had infinitely many possible values.**

Snowfall can be measured in infinitely many possible increments (for example, 11 inches, 11.1 inches, 11.01 inches, etc.), making it a continuous variable.
