Solution

The number of hot dogs that Joe bought is a discrete variable. This is true because the number of hot dogs can be counted in whole numbers. You can't buy half a hot dog at a game, so this is a discrete variable.

The Quakes standings in the league is a discrete variable. This is also true. Standings in a league are ranked in whole numbers. A team can't be in 1.5 place, so this is a discrete variable.

The number of strikeouts in the game is a continuous variable. This is false. The number of strikeouts can be counted in whole numbers. A player can't strike out half a time, so this is a discrete variable.

The batting average of Joe’s favorite player is a continuous variable. This is true. Batting averages are calculated by dividing the number of hits by the number of at-bats. This can result in a decimal, making it a continuous variable.
