Ci-a, ii-c, iii-b, iv-d

Di-c, ii-a, iii-d, iv-b

Correct answer: (A) i-c, ii-d, iii-a, iv-b

Explanation

A discrete variable is the count of coin flips, a continuous one is height, socio economic status is ordinal, and gender is nominal.

Discrete pairs with the number of times a coin is flipped, since counts take only whole values.

Continuous pairs with the height of a person, which can take any value within a range.

Ordinal pairs with socio economic status, whose ranked categories like low, middle and high have order but no equal spacing.

Nominal pairs with gender, whose categories only name groups with no rank.

Discrete data are counted while continuous data are measured, which sets the two apart.
