Answer
The values for the different categories are classified as discrete. This is because the counts of users and items streamed are distinct and cannot take on any value within a range.
Step 2
The number of music albums streamed during session B was 12 929 939.

Answer
To calculate the increase in the number of songs streamed, we use the values from the table:
Session A: 88 704
Session B: 88 706
Session C: 88 705
The total number of songs streamed is:
Increase from A to B: 88 706 - 88 704 = 2
Increase from B to C: 88 706 - 88 705 = 1
Overall Increase: 2 + 1 = 3
Step 5
Determine, as a unit ratio, in the form 1 : ..., the number of paid users to the number of free users during session A.

Answer
The number of paid users is 690 160 and the number of free users is 8 120 031. The ratio can be calculated as:
extRatio=8120031690160=1:11.7
Thus, in unit ratio form, the answer is approximately 1 : 11.7.
