Which of the following examples represents a discrete data constraint with viable solutions?

Question

A) number of tests passed.
B) average score on a test.
C) distance between points.
D) average weight of all the newborns in a hospital ward.

Answer 1

The example that represents a discrete data constraint with viable solutions is:

A) number of tests passed.

This is because the number of tests passed is a countable quantity (it can only take on whole number values: 0, 1, 2, etc.), making it discrete data. The other options (B, C, and D) involve continuous data, as they can take on a range of values (such as fractions, decimals, etc.) rather than distinct, countable numbers.
