continuous discrete
A continuous variable which is made discrete when recorded.
The number of brothers and sisters you have is a discrete quantitative variable. It represents a countable quantity, as you can only have whole numbers of siblings (0, 1, 2, etc.). This variable can be measured and compared numerically, making it suitable for statistical analysis.
No, the number of children in a household is not an interval variable; it is a discrete variable. Interval variables have meaningful intervals between values but do not have a true zero point, whereas the number of children can only take on whole number values (0, 1, 2, etc.) and has a true zero, indicating the absence of children. Therefore, it is categorized as a ratio variable, which is a more specific type of quantitative variable.
in general regression model the dependent variable is continuous and independent variable is discrete type. in genral regression model the variables are linearly related. in logistic regression model the response varaible must be categorical type. the relation ship between the response and explonatory variables is non-linear.

I think you are going for continuous variable, as compared with discrete variables.
A continuous variable which is made discrete when recorded.
A discrete variable is a type of quantitative variable that can take on a finite or countable number of distinct values. Examples include the number of students in a classroom, the result of a dice roll, or the number of cars in a parking lot. Discrete variables contrast with continuous variables, which can take on any value within a given range. In statistical analysis, discrete variables are often represented by whole numbers.
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.

In theory, it a continuous numerical variable. In practice, however, it is made discrete by the limitations of recording it - either by hand or by computer.
That's a dependent variable, I believe.

A discontinuous variable is a variable that has distinct categories. Blood type is a good example. You could be A, B, AB or O. This contrasts with a continuous variable such as height or weight, where there are an almost infinite number of possible values. Data for discontinuous variables is usually represented using a bar graph or pie chart, but never a scatter graph.
