Is the data set “heights of the women in the U.S. Congress” quantitative or qualitative? If it is quantitative, is it discrete or continuous?

The data is quantitative because you can average the data. It is not a label.
It is continuous because there are more than integer values of heights.

Answer with explanation:

The “heights of the women in the U.S. Congress” is Quantitative,because height of person does not represent Quality, it shows "Quantity".It means it has Magnitude.

We can find mean , median and mode of women in Congress.

So, Height of women in US congress is Quantitative.

As, different Women have different Heights, that is any rational number , so The Height of different women will be a discrete data set.For, example, height of different women can be={167 cm, 187.6, 176.6,165.5,.....}
