Data, Sampling, and Variation in Data and Sampling: example 1.7

A possible solution

• One example of a quantitative discrete data set would be three cans of soup, two packages of nuts, four kinds of vegetables, and two desserts because you count them.
• The weights of the soups (19 ounces, 14.1 ounces, 19 ounces) are quantitative continuous data because you measure weights as precisely as possible.
• Types of soups, nuts, vegetables, and desserts are qualitative data because they are categorical.
