Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Height is an example of what type of data?

A	Categorical Nominal
B	Categorical Ordinal
C	Numerical Discrete
D	Numerical Continuous

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A variable is said to be continuous if it can assume an infinite number of real values within a given interval. For instance, consider the height of a student. The height can’t take any values. It can’t be negative and it can’t be higher than three metres.

Detailed explanation-2: -Height, weight, temperature and length are all examples of continuous data. Some continuous data will change over time; the weight of a baby in its first year or the temperature in a room throughout the day.

Detailed explanation-3: -Continuous data is a type of numerical data that refers to the unspecified number of possible measurements between two realistic points. These numbers are not always clean and tidy like those in discrete data, as they’re usually collected from precise measurements.
