A discrete variable might take on values in sets like these:
'Discrete' here really means 'separate'.
Discrete variables have numbers that can be counted. Continuous data is measurable. Discrete data are data which can only take on a finite or countable number of values within a given range. Continuous data are data which can take on any value. It is measured rather than counted. The mass of a given sample of iron is continuous; the number of marbles in a bag is discrete.
Two inches of precipitation is considered continuous data. This is because precipitation can take on any value within a range and can be measured with varying degrees of precision, such as in millimeters or hundredths of an inch. Discrete data, on the other hand, consists of distinct, separate values, typically counted items. Since precipitation can vary continuously, it falls into the continuous data category.
Yes.
Continuous data is data that can theoretically be any amount at all. There may be a maximum and minimum value, but all numbers in between are possible. For instance, the amount of time it takes to complete a task, might be 13.4864 seconds. This makes the time continuous data. Discrete is data that can only be set amounts. For instance, how much money someone has, or how many times they've been to the cinema. You cannot have 13.4864 cents, or have visited the cinema 7.33 times. This is a discrete value.
Age is typically considered to be continuous data. It can be measured as a precise number, such as 25.5 years, and can take on any value within a given range. However, in certain contexts, age may be treated as discrete data if it is categorized into distinct groups or intervals (e.g., 0-10, 11-20, 21-30 years).
Any kind of graph can be used for discrete data.

The number of cows in a pasture is a discrete quantity because it can only take on whole number values (e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.). You can't have a fraction of a cow in this context. Discrete data is characterized by distinct, separate values, while continuous data involves measurements that can take on any value within a range.
Discrete - Each recorded data has a particular whole value e.g. Number of pencils in pencil cases, Number of correct answers in a test Continuous - The recorded data can have any value in a given range e.g. Height of students, Time taken to run 100m
Two inches of precipitation is considered continuous data. This is because precipitation can take on any value within a range and can be measured with varying degrees of precision, such as in millimeters or hundredths of an inch. Discrete data, on the other hand, consists of distinct, separate values, typically counted items. Since precipitation can vary continuously, it falls into the continuous data category.
A simple continuous distribution can take any value between two other values whereas a discrete distribution cannot.
In maths there is discrete data and continuous data. Continuous data can be measured to any degree of accuracy, e.g. I am 1.8716749873651 metres tall. Discrete data cannot...e.g. I have 2 sisters. Discrete data cannot have halves or decimals, whole numbers only.
Yes.

A discrete random variable is a variable that can only take some selected values. The values that it can take may be infinite in number (eg the counting numbers), but unlike a continuous random variable, it cannot take any value in between valid results.
Age is typically considered to be continuous data. It can be measured as a precise number, such as 25.5 years, and can take on any value within a given range. However, in certain contexts, age may be treated as discrete data if it is categorized into distinct groups or intervals (e.g., 0-10, 11-20, 21-30 years).
Neither, since it is "qualitative data", not "quantitative". Only quantitative data can be discrete or continuous. (Unless your assigning a numerical "value" to each nationality type, in which case it would be quantitative discrete). Answer 2: If considering the percentage, eg 100% Irish, 50% Irish, etc., then it is theoretically a continuous variable, assuming an infinite number of generations. However, in terms of currently existing and past living people, for any nationality, it is a discrete variable.
