Answer 2

A) amount of snowfall in a blizzard

Explanation:

Both continuous and discrete data are quantitative.

The difference is that

• Continuous data can take any value. You obtain it by measurement.
• Discrete data can take only certain values. You obtain it by counting.

The amount of snowfall in a blizzard is continuous data. It can take any value such as 100.3 cm or 250.5 cm .

B) is wrong. The number of students who pass a math quiz is discrete data. You can't have half a student.

C is wrong. The number of languages an individual speaks is discrete data. You can't speak half a language.

D) is wrong. The number or treadmills in a gym is discrete data. You can't have half a treadmill.
