The amount of snowfall is considered continuous because it can take on any value within a range and is not limited to specific, separate values. Snowfall can vary in depth and intensity, allowing for fractional measurements, such as 2.5 inches or 3.7 centimeters. In contrast, discrete data involves distinct, separate values, which does not apply to snowfall measurements.

ocean depth is a continuous or discrete variable?
continuous discrete
"Continuous" means there's no smallest piece. If you pick two amounts, then no matter how close together they are, there's always an amount between them. Amounts of time, water, and temperature are continuous. "Discrete" means there is a smallest piece. If you pick two amounts and they're close enough together, there's no amount between them. Amounts of beans, cars, and chickens are discrete.
