Among quantitative variables, we can further classify the variables as Discrete or Continuous. Explain the difference between Discrete or continuous, and provide an example of each.
Discrete variables are those which can take finite set of values and are countable in nature. In this, it jumps from one value to another as intermediate values are not possible.
Example: Number of bananas in a bag is a discrete variable as only finite number is possible. Moreover, it can be 1 or 2 or so on but values between 1 and 2 is not possible
Continuous variable are those which can take up infinite number of values in between a range. They are measured and not counted.
Example: Height of a person, amount of rainfall etc.

2. Classify the following quantitative variables as discrete or continuous. Justify your answer (a) Cranial circumference of newborn infant measured in centimeters. All tir (b) Systolic blood pressure measured in millimeters. (c) Heart rate measured as number of beats per minute. (d) Red blood cell count.
Classify the variables A to F as qualitative or quantitative. For quantitative data, please state whether the variable is discrete or continuous. Then, for each one, distinguish between the four (4) levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio). What is your Year of Graduation (YOG)? How many courses are you enrolled in? What method of payment do you use to pay for textbooks? Cash Credit Card Debit Card
topic: Discrete and Random Variables ProbabilityClassify the following random variables as either discrete or continuous: (a) the length of time to play 18 holes of golf (b) the number of eggs laid each month by a hen (c) the weight of grain produced (d) the number of vehicular accidents per year in Qt.
Classify the variables A to F as qualitative or quantitative. For quantitative data, please state whether the variable is discrete or continuous. Then, for each one, distinguish between the four (4) levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio). What is the total cost of textbooks for your courses? How many times do you see your Academic Advisor during the semester? How do you rate the Add/Drop period? Very good/ Good/ Bad
Example 1: Classify the following random variables as discrete or continuous and specify the domain/support of each random variable. V = number of unbroken eggs in a randomly selected carton (dozen) W = length of time between accidents at a factory Y = whether or not you pass this class Z = number of aircraft arriving tomorrow at STL.
Classify the following as Discrete quantitative, continuous quantitative or qualitative A) Highest temperature in degrees F on record for selected cities B) The most popular types of phones sold in the US C) Weight in ounces of smartphones on the global market D) Countries with the highest population E) A ranking of the top 20 colleges in the country
Could you please explain the difference between :Continuous, Numerical, Categorical, Discrete data and provide an simple example for them?
7. Classify each variable as quantitative discrete, quantitative continuous or qualitative. A) Weight of lobsters in a restaurant's tank. B) Marital status of students in our class. C) number of pairs of shoes you own 8. On a test of 80 questions, Ariel got 65 correct. What percent were correct? On a test of 20 questions. Adam got 14 correct What percent were correct? .9.
