00:01 Hi, i'm david and i'm hitchie haviansen your question.

00:03 Now let me pick up your question here.

00:07 In the question here we are going to discuss about the type of the data.

01:08 And this one will be uncountable.

01:13 Now here the first one will be the colors of the automobiles on a used car lot.
