A quantity having continuous values is one that can take on any value within a certain range, including decimal and fractional values. Examples include temperature, weight, height, and time. These quantities can vary continuously without any abrupt jumps between values.
When a quantity is quantized, it means that it can only take on discrete, specific values rather than any continuous value. This is often seen in physical phenomena such as the quantization of energy levels in atoms or the quantization of charge in elementary particles.
No, not necessarily. A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. While it can have positive and negative values, not all quantities with positive and negative values represent vectors. Vectors must also obey the rules of vector addition and scalar multiplication.
Quantized means that the physical quantity can only take on certain specific values, and not any value within a continuous range. This is often seen in phenomena like energy levels in atoms or the quantization of angular momentum in quantum mechanics.
No, perimeter is not a vector quantity. A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction, while perimeter is simply the continuous line enclosing a shape and is scalar in nature.
A changeable quantity is called a variable. Variables can take different values and are typically represented by letters in mathematical equations.
Continuous. Discrete variables are only expressed as integer values, whereas continuous is, as its name suggests, continuous.
People's heights.
Not continuous => Discrete variable. Continuous => Continuous variable.
analog data are continuous and take continuous values

A variable.
Yes, it does "appear" to be continuous, by the simple fact that it is continuous for all values of the input.
No, not necessarily. A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. While it can have positive and negative values, not all quantities with positive and negative values represent vectors. Vectors must also obey the rules of vector addition and scalar multiplication.

vector Quantity
The number of cows in a pasture is a discrete quantity because it can only take on whole number values (e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.). You can't have a fraction of a cow in this context. Discrete data is characterized by distinct, separate values, while continuous data involves measurements that can take on any value within a range.
A continuous number can take any value, such a 1.234, or 3.5, or 10.11. Height is usually a continuous quantity (even though height cannot be negative, it is still continous). Time is also usually considered continuous. Whereas a discrete number must take certain values, such as (1, 1/2, 3, 4, 5 etc. . for shoe sizes) or (1, 2, 3 etc.. for amount of people). Since you cannot get .2 of a person, or -3 pencils or something equally illogical .
