4,087 PointsWhy is this answer false?
Which of the following sets of data would not be well suited modelled as an enumeration?
A Types of ice cream flavours
B. Months of the year
C. Planets in the solar system.
D. Authentication status in an app
I picked D, thinking that "authentication status" sounded like something that would just be a boolean. However that is false. Which answer is true then?
Darcy Phillips
4,087 PointsHmm, on second thought, I still feel not quite sure about that. Couldn't my particular list of ice cream flavors be exhaustive?

Courses Plus Student 6,497 PointsI would say A. Part of the definition of enumeration is an enumeration is a complete, ordered listing of all the items in a collection or finite set. Getting a list of ice cream flavors could go on forever & ever as people are constantly inventing new flavors. B. Months of the year is finite so thats Ok. C. Planets in the solar system is finite so thats ok. D. Authentication status in an app is finite. Either its done, working, or in an error and maybe a few other possibilities.

Courses Plus Student 6,497 PointsIf you go to the bottom of my response there should be a "comment" and "best answer" button. Click on "best answer".

57,712 PointsHi Cynthia,
Just to clarify; you made a comment on the initial question which is why Darcy wan't able to mark your comment as 'Best Answer'. I converted your comment to be an answer, hence how now Darcy has been able to mark your response as 'Best'.
Keep up the great work!
Steve.

4,087 PointsAh, ok, that does make sense! thank you very much for that!
I can't see how to mark your answer as best answer. Is it because you commented as opposed to answered?
(However I did inadvertently enter my reply comment as an "answer". To make matters worse I then voted my "answer" as best answer! To make matters doubly worse, I did it twice! Oops. Was just trying to give you the vote. Sorry.)
