Give examples of measurement data. Explain why each example is measurement data. Answer: Examples of measurement data: cycle time, weight, and temperature. Measurement data are continuous data.

The correct answer is A. Examples of measurement data: cycle time, weight, and temperature. Measurement data are continuous data. Option A is correct because cycle time, weight, and temperature are all examples of measurement (variable) data - values obtained through measurement on a continuous scale that can take any value within a range, including decimals and fractions. This contrasts with attribute…

Explanation

Option A is correct because cycle time, weight, and temperature are all examples of measurement (variable) data - values obtained through measurement on a continuous scale that can take any value within a range, including decimals and fractions. This contrasts with attribute data, which is counted (pass/fail, defect counts) rather than measured. Since there is only one answer choice presented, no distractors exist to address here.

Memory tip: Think "MeaSurement = Continuous Scale" - if you need a measuring instrument (scale, thermometer, stopwatch) to collect the data, it's measurement data. If you can only count it (yes/no, number of defects), it's attribute data.
