Explanation / Answer

The first one is the weight which can take any value on the real line like 45.6,83.48,96,64.792 etc. It's a continuous variable.

The second one can take only two values 1 or 0. So, it's a discrete variable.

Next one is the number of songs performed which can be 0,1,2,3,4,...... as an integer. It can take only isolated values so it's discrete variable also.

The last one is also discrete one as the number of yellow M&Ms will be as 0,1,2,3,4,.......... integers.
