Wow, I didn't realize how tricky this could be!

No way, A is continuous. C is the only clear choice here.

Wait, isn't A also discrete? Time can be counted!

I think B is also discrete since it's a whole number.

C is definitely discrete data!

I’m confused about B; it mentions gallons, but isn’t that more continuous? I guess I’ll go with C too.

I think I saw a practice question similar to this, and it was about counting items. So, C seems like the best choice for discrete data.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like A and D are more about time, which might not be discrete?

I remember we talked about discrete data being countable, so I think options like C could be it since it involves counting people.

I'm a little confused on the difference between discrete and continuous data. Is the time it took to complete the marathon considered discrete since it's measured in hours and minutes? Or is that still considered continuous data?

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know discrete data is data that can only take on certain values, like whole numbers. But I'm not confident which of these examples fits that definition best.

This looks like a straightforward question about discrete data. I think the answer is C - the number of people on the bus is a discrete value.

Okay, let me think this through. Discrete data has to be a countable value, not a continuous measurement. I'm leaning towards C as the answer, since the number of people on the bus is a specific, countable value.

Hmm, I'm not sure which option is the correct one. I'll need to think this through carefully.

Haha, I bet the marathon runner is wishing they had some discrete data on how many blisters they got! D is definitely continuous.

I'm not sure, but I think it's either A or C.
NO

I'd go with B. The amount of fuel consumed is a continuous variable, not a discrete count.
TR

C definitely looks like discrete data to me - counting the number of people is a discrete measure.
