问题如下:
A fixed-income analyst uses a proprietary model to estimate bankruptcy probabilities for a group of firms. The model generates probabilities that can take any value between 0 and 1. The resulting set of estimated probabilities would most likely be characterized as:
选项:
A.ordinal data B.discrete data C.continuous data.解释:
C is correct. Continuous data are data that can be measured and can take on any numerical value in a specified range of values. In this case, the analyst is estimating bankruptcy probabilities, which can take on any value between 0 and 1. Therefore, the set of bankruptcy probabilities estimated by the analyst would likely be characterized as continuous data. A is incorrect because ordinal data are categorical values that can be logically ordered or ranked. Therefore, the set of bankruptcy probabilities would not be characterized as ordinal data. B is incorrect because discrete data are numerical values that result from a counting process, and therefore the data are limited to a finite number of values. The proprietary model used can generate probabilities that can take any value between 0 and 1; therefore, the set of bankruptcy probabilities would not be characterized as discrete data.
为什么这个区间的不是离散数据?连续数据不是数不清的吗,这个区间不是给了0-1之间?
