Height, weight, wavelength of light.
A quantitative variable where there is a continuous (no infinite number) of attributes. For example length/height/weight can be measure as continuous as it has not set number
The main classification is discrete or continuous.
Yes. It is a continuous variable. As used in probability theory, it is an example of a continuous random variable.
Household income is a quantitative variable, specifically a continuous variable, since it can take on a wide range of numerical values.

Yes, family income is absolutely an example of a continuous variable. but zip code ,i think, is not a continuous variable
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.
No
No, it is a continuous process but not a continuous variable. The magnitude of star-shine, across all stars is a continuous variable. The magnitude of a star's shine over time is a continuous variable.
Yes. You can't have a fraction of an employee. Thus, the range of values is not continuous, thus the variable is discrete.
yes
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.
