how is analog data measured differently from digital data?

a. it is measured using a continuous record rather than a limited
number of values.

b. it is measured with smaller units because they hold less
information.

c. it is measured with text descriptions instead of number values.

d. it is measured using manual rather than electronic equipment.

Explanation:

To determine how analog data is measured differently from digital data, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Analog data is continuous (e.g., sound waves, voltage), while digital data is discrete (limited values like binary). This matches the key difference.
• Option B: Analog data's measurement units aren't smaller due to less info; digital is discrete, not about unit size. Eliminate.
• Option C: Analog data (e.g., voltage, temperature) is measured with numbers/physical quantities, not text. Eliminate.
• Option D: Both analog and digital can use electronic/manual equipment (e.g., analog meters, digital sensors). Eliminate.

Answer:

A. It is measured using a continuous record rather than a limited number of values.
