Which of the following is an example of a continuous variable? A) Number of children in a family B) Blood group type C) Car's speed D) Height of a person
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify an example of a continuous variable from a given list. Continuous variables are those that can take any value within a given range, while others, like the number of children, blood group type, and car types, have discrete values.

The height of a person is an example of a continuous variable.
Answer for screen readers

More Information
Continuous variables can take on any value within a range. Height is continuous because it can be measured with infinite precision (e.g., 5', 5.5', 5.75', etc.).
Tips
A common mistake is confusing discrete variables, like the number of children, which are countable, with continuous variables.
