What else can I help you with?
Is muscle gain discrete or continuous variable?
It is a continuous variable.
Is temperature an example of continuous variable?
Yes. It is a continuous variable. As used in probability theory, it is an example of a continuous random variable.
Is stars shining an example of s continuous variable?
No, it is a continuous process but not a continuous variable. The magnitude of star-shine, across all stars is a continuous variable. The magnitude of a star's shine over time is a continuous variable.
Classification of variables according of continuity of values?
Not continuous => Discrete variable. Continuous => Continuous variable.
Difference between continuous and discrete variables?
Continuous variable is one like temperature, and discrete variable are ones like male and female. So if you are looking at temperatures between 90 and 100 degrees, there is an infinite number of them. Say between 99 and 99.1, we have 99.05 and between that and 99 we have 99.005 etc. The variable is continuous because it can take on any value between 90 and 100. But if you are talking about gender, than it is either male of female and not continuous. Having said all this, now we define a continuous variable A continuous is one for which, within the limits the variable ranges, any value is possible. So what about time? If the variable is how long it take to read this answer, is that discrete? NO, it is continuous. A five point scale is an example of a discrete variable.
