Solution

The room number of the class is a discrete variable, not a continuous variable. Room numbers are distinct and separate, and you can't have a fraction of a room number.

The average weight of the students is a continuous variable, not a discrete variable. Weight is measured on a continuous scale, and can take on any value within a certain range, including fractions.

The average age of the students in the class is a continuous variable. Age, like weight, is measured on a continuous scale and can take on any value within a certain range, including fractions.

A student's GPA is a continuous variable. GPA can take on any value within a certain range, typically 0.0 to 4.0, and can include fractions.

The number of students in the class is a discrete variable. You can't have a fraction of a student, so the number of students must be a whole number.
