What do you mean by continuous variables and discrete variables. Classify variables into continuous (or) discrete variables. 1. Height 2. Weight 3. Distance travelled by train 4. Scores on an achievement test 5. Number of electric poles in a colony 6. Number of individuals sitting in a bus 7. Intelligence test scores

Answer :

We know variables : A variable can have any value . And that value can be change on the basis of different examples .

And

Continuous variables :  A continuous variable is a variable that has an infinite number of possible values. In other words, any value is possible for the variable. A continuous variable doesn’t have to have every possible number it can also be continuous between two numbers, like 1 and 2. As 1.001  , 1.000002 , ...

Discrete variables : A discrete variable is a variable that can only take on a certain number of values. In other words, they don’t have an infinite number of values. If you can count a set of items, then it’s a discrete variable.  As (  1 , 2 ,  3 , ... )
