b. quantitative discrete

c. quantitative continuous

Number of times per week is a quantitative discrete variable.

Step by step solution

01

To determine

The type of data.

02

Explanation

Quantitative variables are those that can be stated numerically. We consider this variable to be quantitative because the number of times a resident visits the local park is given numerically. Discrete variables are those that can only be stated in whole numbers rather than decimals.

Because a resident's visits to the local park can only be indicated in whole numbers, there can only be 2 or 4 visits, but no 2.5 visits. It isn't practical to do so. As a result, the number of visits a resident makes to the neighbourhood park is a quantitative discrete variable.

Studies are often done by pharmaceutical companies to determine the effectiveness of a treatment program. Suppose that a new AIDS antibody drug is currently under study. It is given to patients once the AIDS symptoms have revealed themselves. Of interest is the average (mean) length of time in months patients live once they start the treatment. Two researchers each follow a different set of 40 patients with AIDS from the start of treatment until their deaths. The following data (in months) are collected.

Researcher A:
