Which of the following is a quantitative continuous variable?

b. Distance a family travels on vacation

e. Amount spent on the vacation, to the nearest $100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantitative variables use numbers to express attributes, there are 2 types:

1. Quantitave continuous variables use numbers to express the attributes but, could have an infinite value between its maximum and minimum values, and are able to be divided into smaller values, such as in options b and e.

2. Quantitative discrete, also use numbers to express attributes, but they may have some, but not all the values, and must be integers, such as in options:

c. Number of vacations a family takes per year

d. Number of consecutive years that a family goes on a vacation (Let a trip of at least 200 miles from home be defined as "vacation").

e. Amount spent on the vacation, to the nearest $100.

And there are the cualitative variables, which use words to express attributes, such as in:

a. Where a family goes on vacation.
