Determine whether the value given below is from a discrete or continuous data set. The volume of cola in a can is 12.1 oz?A. A discretediscrete data set because there are infinitely many possible values and those values can be countedvalues can be counted B. A continuouscontinuous data set because there are infinitely many possible values and thosethere are infinitely many possible values and those values cannot be countedvalues cannot be counted C. The data set is neither continuous nor discrete. D. A discretediscrete data set because there are a finite number of possible valuesthere are a finite number of possible values

Answer:

B. A continuous continuous data set because there are infinitely many possible values and those there are infinitely many possible values and those values cannot be counted values cannot be counted

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the  volume of cola in a can is 12.1 oz

We have to find out whether discrete or continuous.

We can say a random variable is discrete if it takes values which have one to one correspondence with the set of natural numbers.

continuous if a one to one correspondence with set of natural numbers cannot be established.

In our case, we have volume of cola as 12.1 oz.  Between two readings say,12.1 oz and 12.15 oz. there may be infinite other values which the volume can take

i.e. this is a continuous data.

B. A continuous continuous data set because there are infinitely many possible values and those here are infinitely many possible values and those values cannot be counted values cannot be counted

is right answer
