Yadiel Dalton · Answer 2

A) amount of snowfall in a blizzard

Step-by-step explanation:

Both continuous and discrete data are quantitative.

The difference is that

Continuous data can take any value. You obtain it by measurement. Discrete data can take only certain values. You obtain it by counting.

The amount of snowfall in a blizzard is continuous data. It can take any value such as 100.3 cm or 250.5 cm.

B) is wrong. The number of students who pass a math quiz is discrete data. You can't have half a student.

C is wrong. The number of languages an individual speaks is discrete data. You can't speak half a language.

D) is wrong. The number or treadmills in a gym is discrete data. You can't have half a treadmill.
