Using the concepts of discrete and continuous variables, it is found that the correct option is:

The six minute half mile time is continuous data the number of people trying out for team is discrete data

Continuous variables: Assume decimal values.
Discrete variables: Assume only countable values, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

In this problem, the number of people can be 0, 1, 2, ..., so it is discrete.

The half mile time can be a decimal values, such as 2.5 minutes, hence, it is continuous.
