A non-orderable discrete variable is usually one for which the information that is recorded can only have a finite number of qualitative outcomes and that there is no relevant ordering of these outcomes. One example might be favourite fruit. Although the responses can be ordered alphabetically, or by mass of typical specimen, these are not relevant ordering schemes. An orderable discrete variable is one in which there is a relevant basis for ordering the outcomes. An example might be shoe sizes which, in the UK, go ... 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, ... .The ordering reflects how large the shoe is. A continuous variable is one which can take any possible value in the permitted range. A typical example is a person's height. Even though in recording the variable becomes discretised (eg 5ft 10" or 176 cm), the underlying variable is continuous.

What is the difference between continuous and discrete system?

The difference between continuous and discrete system lies in the variables. Whereas the continuous systems have dynamic variables, the discrete system have static variables.

Yes, if you have two limiting variables with other possibles variables between them, the variables between the limiting variables would be continuous.

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


What is the difference between continuous and discontinuous and discrete variables?

A continuous variable is a variable for which all possible representations are valid. A discrete variable is a variable for which only some representations are valid. Discontinuous variables apply to data sets where values recorded during particular periods are missing from the set.


How many variables does a t test measure?

A t-test typically measures two variables: one categorical independent variable with two levels (groups) and one continuous dependent variable. It assesses whether there is a statistically significant difference in the means of the continuous variable between the two groups.


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.

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 continuous and discrete variables?

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