the value of variables is determined by the equation, discrete variables have absolute single value while the continuos have a range value

Classification of variables according of continuity of values?

Not continuous => Discrete variable. Continuous => Continuous variable.


Are quiz scores discrete or continuous variables?

Quiz and exam scores are discrete variables because they are defined as one exact number.


Difference between discrete and continuous?

A continuous variable is one that can take any value within an interval (or a set of intervals). A discrete variable is one that can only take certain values.Some further notes:* Often a discrete variable takes integer values, but that is not necessary.* Neither discrete nor continuous variables need be limited to a finite number of possible values.* Frequently, continuous variables are continuous only in principle, and the measuring instruments or recording make them discrete. Eg your height is continuous but as soon as it is recorded as 1.75 cm or 5'9", it is made discrete.


What is the difference between discrete and continuous graphs?

Discrete and Continuous GraphThis will be a very basic definition but understandable one A graph is discrete when one (or both) of the variables has discrete entries, its means that are entered number, without decimal part, so the graph has no continuity, the trace will be broken parts, not a single one.beside a continuous graph is a graph where both variables are continuous, it means that their field's are de Real number, so the trace it's a continuous line.Also we can differentiated because the range are points (in a discrete one) and all the numbers (in a continuous one).


What are five continuous variables?

You age, your height, your mass, the speed at which you run, the energy you burn in doing so. They may be measured as discrete quantities but the underlying variables are all continuous.
