A. The variable is discrete because it is countable.
wrong answer Use this to help you answer. A discrete variable is a quantitative variable that has either a finite number of possible values or a countable number of possible values. The term "countable" means that the values result from counting, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. A continuous variable is a quantitative variable that has an infinite number of possible values that are not countable.
C. The variable is continuous because it is not countable.
