A family visits a car show to research information on vehicles they might consider purchasing. Brochures for each vehicle provide helpful information for the vehicle. Which of the following is an example of a discrete quantitative variable that might be included in the brochure?

Answer
A
number of seats
B
type of transmission
C
presence of a sunroof
D
fuel efficiency (in mpg)

Explanation

A discrete quantitative variable is a numerical count that takes separate whole-number values. The number of seats is a count, so it is discrete and quantitative. Type of transmission and presence of a sunroof are categorical, while fuel efficiency is a measured numerical value rather than a count.
