Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Grade points can take on any numeric values between 0 and 4.

To find : They are an example of a _____ variable.

Solution : We have given that :

Numeric values between 0 and 4 ( 1, 2, 3, 4)

Discrete data : which has certain values

Example :  the number of students in a class, We can't have half a student!
