Question

A variable that assumes any value within a range is called:
A. Independent data
B. Continuous variable
C. Dependent variable
D. Discrete variable

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Continuous random variable

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, A continuous random variable is a random variable where the variable can take infinitely many values in the given interval. Thus a variable that can assume any possible value between two points is called continuous random variable.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Continuous variable is a variable that assumes any value within a range.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Independent data:

• An independent variable is an input, assumption, or driver that is altered to see how it affects a dependent variable (the outcome).
• Consider the input as the independent variable and the output as the dependent variable.

B. Continuous variable:

• A continuous random variable is one in which the data can have an unlimited number of values.

C. Dependent variable:

• In an experiment or a mathematical calculation, the dependent variable is what is being measured.
• The result variable is another name for the dependent variable.
• The values of b and c determine the dependent variable, a.

D. Discrete variable:

• A discrete variable is one whose value may be calculated by counting.
• The number of possible values for a discrete random variable X is countable.
