Study Notes
Variables in Statistics
Continuous Variables
- A continuous variable is a type of variable that can take on any value within a certain range or interval
- Can be measured and have an infinite number of possible values
Discrete Variables
- A discrete variable is a type of variable that can only take on specific, distinct values
- Can only take on a specific number of values, and there is a gap between each value
