Question

Student eye color could be considered what type of data?

  1. Discontinuous
  2. Independent
  3. Continuous
  4. Colors

hintHint:

This type of variation is expressed in bar graph.

The correct answer is: Discontinuous


    Variation is the difference that is present between two individuals of the same population or species.
    The hair color, texture, eye color, height, weight of any two individual is not the same. This is called variation.
    Variations can be classified into continuous and discontinuous.
    Discontinuous variation: If the trait under study for variation has a limited range. Eye color is a classical example of discontinuous variation. The variations of eye color can be expressed in the form of bar chart knowing the percentage of population under each category of variation.
    Continuous variation: If the trait under study for variation has unlimited range. Height is a classical example of discontinuous variation. The variations of eye color can be expressed in the form of bell-shaped curve. From the line of best fit, the best expressed value of the trait can be determined. 

    • Variation is the difference between individuals of the same population
    • Variation can be continuous or discontinuous
    • Continuous variations do not have limited range. Height, weight are classical examples
    • Discontinuous variations have limited range. Eye color, blood groups are classical examples
    • Continuous and discontinuous variations are expressed in bell-shaped graph and bar graph, respectively
