Nathaniel Baker · Answer 1

X is Discrete and Y is Continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete Variable:

the type of variable which can take the certain value. It will take countable values. Mostly it can take integer values

Continuous Variable:

the type of variable which can take any value with in a certain interval. It will take countless values. Mostly it takes the decimal values.

In the question Variable-X is discrete variable because the number of freshmen cannot be in decimal while Variable-Y is continuous variable because it can take any value.
