Understand the definition of discrete quantitative data: Discrete data can only take specific values, often counted in whole numbers, and there are gaps between these values.
Examine each option to determine if it represents discrete data: Discrete data is often associated with counts, such as the number of items or occurrences.
Consider the weight of a bag of apples: Weight is a continuous variable because it can take any value within a range and is measured, not counted.
Consider the temperature in a classroom: Temperature is also a continuous variable because it can take any value within a range and is measured, not counted.
Consider the number of goals scored by a soccer team: This is a discrete variable because goals are counted in whole numbers, and you cannot score a fraction of a goal.
