Conversely a continuous variable such as salinity could be classified as three levels (low medium and high) and treated as a categorical variable |
Is blood type continuous or discrete?
Blood type is not a discrete random variable because it is categorical.
Continuous random variables have numeric values that can be any number in an interval.
For example, the (exact) weight of a person is a continuous random variable.
Foot length is also a continuous random variable.Is Age an example of continuous variable?
If you know a person's time of birth, you could measure their age precisely up to the second or even millisecond if you wanted to.
In this sense, age is a continuous variable.
However, we don't usually care about a person's exact age.
Instead, we treat age as a discrete variable and count age in years.Continuous variables are those values that cover an uninterrupted and large range of scales.
A good example of a continuous variable is pH.
It can be 2.4, 7.0, 8.5, etc. - any of a wide range of values between 0 and 14.
