What does continuous variable mean in science?
A quantitative variable where there is a continuous (no infinite number) of attributes. For example length/height/weight can be measure as continuous as it has not set number
What are the example of continuous variable?
Height, weight, wavelength of light.
Is blood pressure a discrete variable?
No. Because blood pressure is continuous variable. Like temperature, a person's weight and height, the measured value occurs over a continuous scale.
What is the difference between continuous and categorical independent variables?
A categorical variable (also known as a discrete variable) is one whose range is countable; e.g. the variable answ has values [yes, no, not sure]. answ is a categorical variable with range 3.A continuous variable is one which is not categorical; e.g. weight is a continuous variable which can take any value between 0 and 1000 kg (say) for a human being.
Is the weight of a penny discrete or continuous?
Continuous.
What is a discontinuous variable?
A discontinuous variable is a variable that has distinct categories. Blood type is a good example. You could be A, B, AB or O. This contrasts with a continuous variable such as height or weight, where there are an almost infinite number of possible values. Data for discontinuous variables is usually represented using a bar graph or pie chart, but never a scatter graph.
Are weight of motorcycles discrete data or continuous data?
The weight of the motorcycles is discrete and not the continuous data.
Examples of continuous variables?
A continuous variable is one that can take infinite number of values in an interval. Examples are weight, height. A person's weight can be 150.2 lbs, 150.456 pounds and so on. Discrete variables, on the other hand can only assume a finite number of values. For example, number of people in a movie theatre.
Is the weight of 80 pineapples individual or variable?
variable
Is weight a descrete variable?
Discrete variables are those that can only exist at certain values within a given range. For example, money is a discrete variable because you can have as much or as little money as you want, but its typically impossible to have a fraction of a cent. For example, you can't have $12.345, only $12.34 or $12.35. Weight does not fall into this category because you can essentially have any weight that's greater than 0. You could weight 1 pound, 1.000001 pound, or even a trillionth of a pound! When you have data that acts in such a way, it is called a continuous variable.
Is weight discrete or continuous?
both
How heavy are pumpkins in km?
There can be no possible answer. A kilometre (km) is a measure of distance, not of weight!
