Question

An airline has implemented a plan to reduce the occurrence of lost luggage. They have observed a linear relationship between the number of months the plan has been in place and the number of pieces of lost luggage. The airline recorded their findings in the table below. Which statement describes the data in the table?


month lost luggage
1 570
2 540
3 510
4 480
5 450


A.The data is discrete with a range of 1 < y < 5.

B.The data is continuous with a range of 1 < y < 5.

C.The data is discrete with a range of 450 < y < 570.

D.The data is continuous with a range of 450 < y < 570.

Answer 1

You can't have 1/2 or 1/4 piece of luggage.

1-5 defines the intervals, while 450-570 defines what is being measured.

That should lead you to the correct answer.
