Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Height is a continuous random variable because it can take on any value within a certain range (e.g. between 5 feet and 6 feet). Discrete variables only take on specific, distinct values (e.g. the number of siblings you have). Categorical variables are variables that are categorized into groups or classes (e.g. hair color). Therefore, the best choice is A.
