Question

When a van is randomly selected, it is found to have a tire pressure of 30 psi is the data discrete or continuous?

Answer 1

The tire pressure can take on any value between some minimum and maximum possible value, so it is continuous. If it were discrete, then only certain numbers would be possible: for example, tire pressure can be 29 psi, 29.5 psi, or 30 psi, but not any number in between.
