Question

question 9 of 10
which type of data is used to represent a truck’s tire diameter that measures
92.76 cm?

a. continuous data
b. discrete data
c. predictive data
d. qualitative data

Explanation:

To determine the type of data for a truck's tire diameter (92.76 cm), we analyze each option:

• Option A (Continuous data): Continuous data can take any value within a range (e.g., measurements like length, weight, diameter, which can have decimal values). A tire’s diameter is a measurement with decimals, so it fits continuous data.
• Option B (Discrete data): Discrete data consists of distinct, countable values (e.g., number of tires, number of trucks) and cannot have decimals in this context. The diameter (92.76 cm) is not discrete.
• Option C (Predictive data): Predictive data is used for forecasting (e.g., predicting future tire wear), not for describing a measured value like diameter.
• Option D (Qualitative data): Qualitative data is non - numerical (e.g., color of the tire, brand of the tire), while diameter is a numerical measurement.

Answer:

A. Continuous data
