Is the number of households with televisions discrete or continuous?

The number of televisions within a household is a discrete variable. The number of televisions can assume countable whole numbers like 1, 2, 3, etc. Hence, the correct answer is a discrete variable.

Are these data discrete or continuous explain?

Discrete data is a numerical type of data that includes whole, concrete numbers with specific and fixed data values determined by counting. Continuous data includes complex numbers and varying data values that are measured over a specific time interval.

Is the statement true or false there is not one particular frequency distribution that is correct but there are frequency distributions that are less desirable than others?

There is not one particular frequency distribution that is correct, but there are frequency distributions that are less desirable than others. The statement is true.
