OpenStudy (anonymous):

A discrete variable is one that cannot take on all values within its range: examples include the ratings on a 5-point rating scale, or the number of cars currently in a parking lot. These values will be whole numbers, and all of the rational or irrational numbers in the same range will never occur as values.

fir of all what does linear, not linear and dicrete mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Continuous variables are things like air pressure, water temperature, time to complete a task, etc. which can have any value in their range. Usually we can only measure them to some degree of precision limited by our instrumentation, but they can have any value. (Height, mass, time, density, volume.)

OpenStudy (anikate):

Please give me an example of a discrete

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok 1 sec....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Examples of discrete variables are items or events that can be counted.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Intergers are discrete variables :)

OpenStudy (anikate):

such as?how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"A discrete variable is one that cannot take on all values within the limits of the variable. For example, responses to a five-point rating scale can only take on the values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The variable cannot have the value 1.7. A variable such as a person's height can take on any value" maybe that explains it better o.O
