Study Notes
Types of Variables
-
Continuous variables can take any value within a specified range, meaning they can represent fractional or decimal values, such as heights, weights, and temperatures.
-
Discrete variables can only take whole numbers within given limits, often used in counting scenarios, such as the number of students in a classroom or the number of cars in a parking lot.
-
Categorical variables describe qualities or characteristics of a data unit, often used for labeling groups or attributes, such as gender, colors, or types of cuisine.
-
Quantitative variables measure properties in terms of 'how many' or 'how much,' providing numerical data for analysis, like income, age, or scores.
-
Boolean variables can take values that reflect logical conditions, typically represented as true/false or yes/no, useful in decision-making processes and binary systems.
