What represents continuous data?

  1. Marital status

  2. Ethnicity

  3. Weight

  4. Gender

The correct answer is: Weight

Continuous data refers to data that can take on any value within a certain range. In this case, weight is an example of continuous data because it can vary across a continuous range (e.g., 50.5 kg, 60.2 kg, 70.3 kg, etc.). Marital status and gender are categorical data, as they represent distinct categories or labels. Ethnicity, while it can have multiple categories, is also considered categorical data as it represents different groups or labels rather than continuous measurements.
