Options
- Acontinuous data.

- Ddiscrete data.
Explanation
The number of phone calls received in a day represents discrete data because it can only take specific, separate whole number values.
Common mistakes.
- A. Continuous data can take any value within a given range (e.g., height, temperature), which is not the case for a count of calls.
- B. Categorical data represents types or groups (e.g., colors, types of service), not a count or measure.
- C. Ordinal data is a type of categorical data where the categories have a meaningful order (e.g., small, medium, large), which does not apply to the number of calls.
Concept tested. Data types - discrete vs. continuous
