Which of the following numerical variables are continuous? which are discrete? a. number of injuries sustained in a fall b. fraction of birds in a large sample infected with avian flu virus c. number of crimes committed by a randomly sampled individual d. logarithm of body mass

a) b), c) are discrete variables and d) is continuous variable.

Explanation:

A continuous variable are those whose value is taking by measuring.

A discrete variable are those whose value is taking by counting.

So, a) Number of injuries sustained in a fall is done by counting - Discrete

b) Fraction of birds in a large sample infected with avian flue virus is done by counting - Discrete

c) Number of crimes committed by a randomly sampled individual is done by counting - Discrete

d) Logarithm of body mass is done by measuring - Continuous

Hence, a) b), c) are discrete variables and d) is continuous variable.

despite recent progress in bangladesh in the areas of poverty and human development indicators such as literacy and life expectancy, inequalities in income and consumption rates have increased, with 32% of the population living below the poverty line.

bangladesh is one of the world’s most densely populated countries; the size of illinois, bangladesh has a population of 156 million people, half the population of the united states. despite recent progress out of poverty and increasing human development indicators such as literacy and life expectancy, inequalities in income and consumption rates have increased (undp 2005). 32% of the population lives below the national poverty line, most of whom are women and children. the prevalence of child (under 5) malnutrition is 33%, one of the highest in the world.

the disproportionate poverty faced by women and girls comes as a result of discrimination and exclusion within bangladeshi society, struggling to establish their rights and influence in decision-making processes. traditional practices such as dowries, child marriages and the relegation of being last to eat have created a demeaning and dangerous sociopolitical context for girls and women.
