Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continuous variables are those that can take on any value within a given range, including decimal points and fractions. Examples of continuous variables include height, weight, and temperature. Discrete variables can only take on specific values within a range (such as number of siblings), while dichotomous variables only have two possible values (such as gender). Dependent variables are the outcome of the study and are not necessarily limited to a certain range of values. Mediating variables are those that explain the relationship between two other variables and can be either continuous or discrete.
