Determine whether the given value is from a discrete or continuous data set. When a van is randomly selected, it is found to have a weight of 1831.2 kg. Choose the correct answer below. A. It is from a discrete data set because the number of possible values is finite or countable. B. It is from a discrete data set because the number of possible values is infinite and countable. C. It is from a continuous data set because the number of possible values is infinite and not countable. D. The data set is neither continuous nor discrete.

C. It is from a continuous data set because the number of possible values is infinite and not countable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1831.2 is continuous as it is a decimal value. Thus, Option C is the only correct option.

It is a numeric form So, it is quantitative data. And we can't count them (it include numbers between two natural number) so it is Continuous Variable. Example: Weight, Marks, etc.

Discrete data is infinite but it is countable. We can count them. But continuous data is infinite as well as uncountable.
