. Explain the difference between a discrete variable and a continuous variable. Choose the correct answer below. A. A discrete variable has observed values that are clustered in certain intervals, while a continuous variable has observed values that are evenly distributed throughout the distribution. B. A discrete variable has possible values that are separate numbers, while a continuous variable has possible values that form an interval. C. A discrete variable has infinitely many possible values, while a continuous variable is usually a count. D. A discrete variable has each observation belong to one of a set of distinct categories, while a continuous variable has observations that take numerical values that represent different magnitudes of the variable.

(c) compare the results of parts (a) and (b). in general, how do you think the mode, median, and mean are affected when each data value in a set is multiplied by the same constant? multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the mode, median, and mean increasing by a factor of c. multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the mode, median, and mean remaining the same. multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the mode, median, and mean decreasing by a factor of c. there is no distinct pattern when each data value is multiplied by the same constant. (d) suppose you have information about average heights of a random sample of airline passengers. the mode is 65 inches, the median is 72 inches, and the mean is 65 inches. to convert the data into centimeters, multiply each data value by 2.54. what are the values of the mode, median, and mean in centimeters? (enter your answers to two decimal places.) mode cm median cm mean cm in this problem, we explore the effect on the mean, median, and mode of multiplying each data value by the same number. consider the following data set 7, 7, 8, 11, 15. (a) compute the mode, median, and mean. (enter your answers to one (1) decimal places.) mean value = median = mode = (b) multiply 3 to each of the data values. compute the mode, median, and mean. (enter your answers to one (1) decimal places.) mean value = median = mode = --
