Which of the following types of measurement would need a discrete data (whole number) constraint? Option # (the measure of temperature, amount of money, number of animals, or weight) would need a whole number constraint.

Answer 1

The type of measurement that would need a discrete data (whole number) constraint is "number of animals." This is because you cannot have a fraction of an animal; the count must be a whole number. The other options, such as temperature, amount of money, and weight, can all take on decimal values and therefore do not require a discrete constraint.
