Question 11

B: The number of baseball games in a season

The integer data type is exemplified by whole numbers without fractions, which is precisely what "the number of baseball games in a season" represents. This value is a countable, discrete quantity, making it a perfect example of integer data.

A) Whether a bank account does or does not have money in it

This option describes a binary state, typically represented as a boolean data type rather than an integer. It indicates a condition (having money or not) rather than a numeric value, thus making it incorrect as an example of integer data.

B) The number of baseball games in a season

This option accurately represents an integer because it denotes a whole number that quantifies discrete items (the games). It fits the definition of integer data perfectly, as it is a countable figure.

C) A single keystroke from a standard keyboard

While this option may refer to an action or event, it does not represent a numeric value and is not inherently an integer. A keystroke does not quantify a countable amount and is more aligned with character data or input events.

D) An approximation of π as 3.14159

This option represents a floating-point value due to its decimal nature. Since π is not a whole number, it does not qualify as an integer, making this option incorrect in the context of integer data types.

Conclusion

Option B is definitively the correct answer as it directly represents a whole number, which is the essence of integer data types. The other options either describe non-numeric states, represent actions, or involve decimal values, which do not meet the criteria for integers.
