Expert Solution
Step 1

(a)

The continuous quantitative variable is the variable that is measured and can take on countably finite and infinite values. The time  (in seconds) of a DVD can be considered as a continuous random variable because the time can take any specific value between two finite variables, it cannot take only finite values.

The ratio level of measurement can be defined as the value of the difference between the two intervals or measurements in a similar group. The time  (in seconds) of a DVD can be considered as a ratio level of measurement.

Correct answers:

  • Quantitative, Ratio
