State whether the data described below are discrete or continuous and explain why? The distance between cities in a certain contry.

a. The data are discrete because the data can only take on specific values.
b. The data are discrete because the data can take on any value in an interval.
c. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.
d. The data are continuous because the data can only take on specific values.

c. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete data are those which can take up only specific values. Discrete data values may include the number of children in a particular school, the number of visitors received per day. All this values are specific and cannot just take up any number one f values within an interval. Continous data on the other hand can take up any number of data values between an interval. Continous data types are usually height temperature, length(distance data). There can be infinite number of possible data within interval values.
