These are variables that place individuals literally into categories, and cannot be quantified in a meaningful way. Examples would be city of residence, ethnic background, country of birth, hair color, gender, etc. You might encode city of residence as 1, 2, 3, etc, but the alphanumerics here have no ordinal or interval meaning. It is important to plan ahead of time how you are going to use variables; your statistical methods, and their validity, may hinge on these distinctions. See link for more information.

What are the different kinds of variables?
The main ones you need to know on a basic level are categoric and continuous. Categoric ones you will display on a bar chart as they are fixed units. Eg plastic or a range of no.s lumped in togetherContinuous variables are shown on a line graph as they do not have a differentiating X value (category) into which you can separate themHope this helps a bitThe three different kids of science variables are independent, dependent, and controlled.a variable is something you change and there's a independent variable and a dependent variablein an experiment there are three variables: responding, controlled, and manipulated. manipulated is the variable that is changed by the guy who does the experiment. responding is the variable that changes due to the manipulated variable. the controlled variable is the variable that is controlled throughout the experiment. anyway im not sure if this is what you wanted to know

The variable plottted on the horizontal x-axis is called?
You're generally going to put the independent variable on the horizontal axis, ie the variable that you decided to change in the experiment. If it is a continuous variable (ie a run of numbers) then you will be plotting a line graph and joining with a line or curve of best fit. If your variable is categoric ie has labels rather than numbers, or if it is whole-number only, then you're going to be plotting a bar graph.
Do bar charts need categoric variables?
No.
