Chapter 1: Q2-15BSC (page 1)

Determine whether the data are from discrete data or continuous data set.

McDonald鈥檚 In a study of service times at a McDonald鈥檚 drive-up window, the numbers of cars serviced each hour of several days are recorded.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of cars that get a service every hour at a drive-up window is from a discrete dataset.

Step by step solution

01

Discrete and continuous data

  • Discrete data:

Quantitative data that contains countable integral values and cannot be divided into subparts is called discrete data. For example, the number of defective light bulbs in a box, the number of employees in a workshop, etc.

  • Continuous data:

Quantitative data that is uncountable but can take any value real value is called continuous data. It can be divided into parts. For example, the time to charge a mobile phone, the weight of a carton, etc.

02

Classification of data

Since the number of cars can neither be measured nor divided and will always assume a whole number value, so they come from a discrete data set.
