Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A continuous variable is one that can take any value within a certain range, including decimal/fractional values. In contrast, a nominal variable has no quantitative significance and is used only for identification or classification purposes (e.g. gender, race, company name). A discrete variable, on the other hand, can only take an integer or whole number value within a certain set of values (e.g. number of employees, number of cars sold). Therefore, the variable that can theoretically include an infinite number of values between any two points is a continuous variable.
