Final answer:
Shoe sizes are typically whole numbers and can be classified as an b)integer, which is appropriate for the discrete quantitative data type.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you are asked about what size shoes you wear and need to identify the Data Type, you are dealing with a piece of information that can be expressed as a number without fractional values. It would be most appropriate to classify it as an b) integer.
This is because shoe sizes are typically whole numbers, although they can include half sizes, in which case, they might also be considered discrete quantitative data in a broader sense.
For example, when collecting data for a survey on the number of pairs of shoes people own, those numbers would be considered discrete data because they count whole, separate items (pairs of shoes). Similarly, with the question regarding the shoe survey, identifying whether women have more pairs of shoes than men on average, the data collected (number of pairs of shoes) would be discrete quantitative data since you are counting the number of items.
