Is the variable is discrete or continuous the number of keys on each student's key chain?
A random variable such as the number of keys on each student's key chain is discrete because you can list the possible values it can assume. If it was continuous one would not be list a continuous random variable because it would be impossible. The keys on the key chains would be discrete.
Is nationality a discrete or continuous variable?
Neither, since it is "qualitative data", not "quantitative". Only quantitative data can be discrete or continuous. (Unless your assigning a numerical "value" to each nationality type, in which case it would be quantitative discrete). Answer 2: If considering the percentage, eg 100% Irish, 50% Irish, etc., then it is theoretically a continuous variable, assuming an infinite number of generations. However, in terms of currently existing and past living people, for any nationality, it is a discrete variable.
What do yo mean by Discrete mathematics?
Discrete Mathematics is mathematics that deals with discrete objects and operations, often using computable and/or iterative methods. It is usually opposed to continuous mathematics (e.g. classical calculus). Discreteness here refers to a property of subjects of discourse. Some collection of things is called discrete if these things are distinguishable and not continuously transformable into each other. An example would be the collection of natural numbers, but not the real numbers. In topology, a space is called discrete if every subset is open. In constructivism, a set is called discrete if equality of two elements is always decidable.
What is the difference between continuous and consecutive?
They are similar. The largest distinction I can think of is that consecutive things can be finite. Consecutive events happen in unbroken or logical sequence but are not necessarily continuous. Continuous events are ongoing. A random number generator would be continuous, but since there is no logical pattern to the numbers, it would not be considered to be generating consecutive numbers.
There is 7 sports on a grid23.4 kids chose hockey as their favorite sport write a proportion of the kids who chose hockey as their favorite sport in a eqaution then answer it?
Definetly hockey is a really good sport but in order from gratest to least it would go a little like this ,soccer,football,basketball,baseball,golf,hockey,tennis.
Would number of rooms be discrete or continuous?
Discrete. You cannot have 3.76... rooms!
Is the percentage of hospitals a continuous or discrete?
There are a discrete number of hospitals, so the percentage of the hospitals would be discrete as well.
When the number of cups of coffee sold in the caferteria during lunch is it continuous or discrete?
It would be a discrete distribution, since the number of cups are countable.
Is the variable is discrete or continuous the number of keys on each student's key chain?
A random variable such as the number of keys on each student's key chain is discrete because you can list the possible values it can assume. If it was continuous one would not be list a continuous random variable because it would be impossible. The keys on the key chains would be discrete.
Is date a discrete or continuous variable?
Date is a discrete variable whereas date/time would be continuous.
Why would number of people on a committee be discrete?
A discrete number is a full, whole number while a continuous number may be any value in a range. Since a committee consists of people, and people aren't divisible, a committee consists of a whole number (discrete) of people.
Is no of common colds a discrete or continuous variable?
It is a discrete variable, as number of colds experienced by individuals would be one time, two times or so on. So, it is a finite category proving it a discrete variable.
Is the number of hours students study per week continuous variation?
It isn't. The time spent would be but the keyword here is "number". Therefore, the number of hours would be an whole number, hence it would be discrete data.
Would the hair colour of students in a class be qualititive discrete or continuous?
Qualitative.
Which variable would be better to use a continuous or discrete?
Each of those is better in some situations. Also, you often have no choice. Some quantities, like speed and temperature, are inherently continuous, whereas some quantities, like the number of girls, cars, or beans, are inherently discrete.
Is nationality a discrete or continuous variable?

(Unless your assigning a numerical "value" to each nationality type, in which case it would be quantitative discrete).

What is the difference between continuous and discrete convolution?
A convolution is a function defined on two functions f(.) and g(.). If the domains of these functions are continuous so that the convolution can be defined using an integral then the convolution is said to be continuous. If, on the other hand, the domaisn of the functions are discrete then the convolution would be defined as a sum and would be said to be discrete. For more information please see the wikipedia article about convolutions.
