A variable is something that can take different values. These values may be qualitative (colour, gender, favourite singer etc) or quantitative. A continuous variable must be quantitative such that it can take all values between its lowest (minimum) and highest (maximum). The variable is independentif its value is not affected by the value of any other variable under consideration.
