The variable x , which represents the amount of soda contained in each can, is a quantitative variable (also called a numerical variable).

Explanation:

• Quantitative variable : Measures a quantity and can be expressed numerically. It can be further classified as:
  • Continuous : Can take any value within a range (e.g., amount of soda in milliliters).
  • Discrete : Can take only specific values (e.g., number of cans).

Since the amount of soda in each can can vary continuously (e.g., 330 ml, 330.5 ml, etc.), x is a continuous quantitative variable.

Summary:

• x = amount of soda in each can
• Type of variable: Quantitative (continuous) variable
