Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discrete data refers to countable items or values that can only take on certain fixed values. The number of crew members on a boat is a countable quantity, making it discrete data. Latitude and longitude (choices B and D) are continuous data because they can take on any value within a range, and the speed of the boat's propeller (choice C) is also continuous as it can vary along a continuum of values.
