Answer:

B. Age of student

D. Time taken to run 1 mile

Explanation:

From the list of given options, only B and D satisfy the required condition.

One unique determinant of continuous data is that; they are measured and not counted.

Now, let's categorize option A to D into two

1. Counted data

2. Measured data

Options that fall into the category of measured data are said to be continuous data.

A. Concert attendance; The number of people in a concert is counted

B. The age of a student is measured (in years)

C. Number of pens in a box is counted

D. Time taken to run 1 mile is measured (in units like seconds, minutes, hours, etc...)

In summary; we have

Counted

A. Concert Attendance

C. Number of pens in a box

Measured

B. Age of a student

D. Time taken to run 1 mile

Hence, the continuous data are Age of a student and Time taken to run 1 mile
