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.
What does continuous variable mean in science?
A quantitative variable where there is a continuous (no infinite number) of attributes. For example length/height/weight can be measure as continuous as it has not set number
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.
Is muscle gain discrete or continuous variable?
It is a continuous variable.
Is patient gender a continuous variable?

What is an example of continuous quantitative variable?

Is blood pressure a discrete variable?
No. Because blood pressure is continuous variable. Like temperature, a person's weight and height, the measured value occurs over a continuous scale.
Is mass a continuous or discrete variable?
It is a continuous variable.
