Continuous data suggests that…
A) the data lie on a continuum between true and false.
B) there can be up to an infinite number of possible responses between any two adjacent data points.
C) there must be a finite number of possible data points between the maximum possible value and the minimum possible value.
D) There are no additional possible measurements between any two adjacent data points on the scale.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continuous data can take on any value within a range, with no limit to the number of possible responses between adjacent points. Therefore, option B is the correct statement. Option A is incorrect because continuous data does not have a binary or dichotomous nature. Option C is incorrect because continuous data is not defined by a finite range of possible values. Option D is incorrect because continuous data allows for an infinite number of possible measurements between two adjacent data points on the scale.
