Which of the following correctly describes the nature of discrete quantitative variables?
A) They are characteristics possessed by persons or objects, called elementary units, in which we are interested.
B) They can assume values only at specific points on a scale of values, with inevitable gaps between successive observations
C) When dealing with such variables, we can count all possible observations and, with some exceptions, that count leads to a finite result.
D) Is correctly described by "they are characteristics possessed by persons or objects, called elementary units, in which we are interested" and "when dealing with such variables, we can count all possible observations and, with some exceptions, that count leads to a finite result."
E) All of these.
Discrete Quantitative Variables
Variables that represent countable quantities and can take on a finite number of distinct values.
Elementary Units
The simplest, indivisible entities which a data set or a statistical analysis is concerned with.
Finite Result
An outcome or solution that is fixed and definitive, with limitations in terms of size, number, or extent.
