Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of employees is a discrete variable because it can only take on whole number values and cannot be divided into smaller increments. The volume of water and distance driven are continuous variables that can take on any value within a range, while the Dow Jones is a continuous variable calculated using a formula based on the prices of various stocks.
