What type of data is represented by blood pressure (BP) measurements?

  1. Discrete (Categorical) Data

  2. Continuous Data

  3. Null Hypothesis (H0)

  4. Alternative Hypothesis (Ha)

The correct answer is: Continuous Data

Blood pressure measurements are considered continuous data. Continuous data can take any value within a given range and can be measured at any level of precision. In the case of blood pressure, it can be measured as any value within a range (e.g., 120/80 mmHg) and can have decimal points for more precise measurements. Discrete (Categorical) Data are distinct categories or groups with no other values in between, like blood type (A, B, AB, O), which blood pressure measurements are not. Null Hypothesis (H0) and Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) are related to hypothesis testing and are not applicable in this context.
