Linear discrete time signal?
The linear discrete time interval is used in the interpretation of continuous time and discrete valued: Quantized signal.
Is the time taken to run 10 kilometers discrete or continuous variable?
It is a continuous variable. BUT as soon as you measure it, the limitations of your timing device make the observation a discrete variable - even if you can measure with an accuracy of a nanosecond.
The amount of time needed to run the Boston Marathon is an example of which type of variable?
A continuous variable which is made discrete when recorded.
What is the difference between continuous sampling and discrete sampling?
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.
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.
