Answer

The speed of a cricket ball is **Continuous**.<br /><br />**Explanation:**<br /><br />* **Continuous data** can take on any value within a given range. The speed of a cricket ball can be anything from 0 kph to very high speeds (theoretically, there's no upper limit, though practically it's limited by the bowler's strength and physics). It can be 145.2 kph, 145.21 kph, 145.213 kph, and so on, with infinite precision.<br /><br />* **Discrete data** can only take on specific, separate values. Think of things you count, like the number of wickets taken or the number of runs scored. You can't have 2.5 wickets or 1.7 runs.<br />
