The number of popcorn servings sold per day is actually an exemple of a discrete variable. A discrete variable can only take on certain values within its variable range (1, 2, 3, etc). As such, the number of servings can only take on those values, that are whole numbers, without decimals. You cannot say that you have 1.5 desks in your room, for example. You have 1, 2 or 3 desks. On the contrary, a continuous variable is one that, within its variable range, can take any value. Time would be a good example. Between 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock, there are other values. A student can say it took 2 hours and 10 minutes to complete his exam, for example.
