Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A continuous variable is one that can take on any value within a certain range. Temperature measured in degrees Fahrenheit is a continuous variable because it can take on any value within a certain range (e.g. 70.3°F or 70.33°F). Income bracket, religious identification, gender, and socioeconomic status are all discrete variables because they are categories or classifications that cannot take on any value within a range.
