Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
- Statement I: A discrete variable can represent only a finite set of values.
- Statement II: A continuous variable can be broken into subparts including fractions.
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true ✓ Correct
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true — The answer is that both statements are true.
Explanation
★The answer is that both statements are true.
★A discrete variable takes only separate, countable values in an interval, so Statement I is true.
★A continuous variable can take any value and be split into smaller parts, including fractions, so Statement II is true.
★The two statements correctly distinguish discrete from continuous variables.
★So both hold together.
★Counts are discrete while measurements are continuous.
★So the answer is that both statements are true.
