Which type of data is best described by a continuous model?

a) points scored
b) pages in a book
c) children in a family
d) temperature of an engine

The meaning of term continuous is that there should be no breaking.

In terms of mathematics , a function is said to be continuous function if there are no gaps when you plot the curve on coordinate axis.

In option 1, points scored is an incomplete statement.

Option 2, pages in a book is an example of constant function if you count pages between two pages. But it is a continuous function if page numbers are counted.

Option 3, children in a family is not a continuous function because there are gap in birth of two children.

Option 4, Temperature of an engine varies if engine is moving, otherwise remains constant.

Option (B), pages in a book is a type of data which is BEST described by a continuous model.    

step-by-step explanation:

which of the following statements correctly describes the expression below based on its degree and number of terms?

314 - 7x2 + 11

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.
