What is a discrete variable? Are any of these discrete...Temp of a hot pizza, telephone number, weight of an elephant, number of votes for a candidate, speed of a race car?

Answer 1

Variables that can only take on a finite number of values are called "discrete variables." All qualitative variables are discrete. Some quantitative variables are discrete, such as performance rated as 1,2,3,4, or 5, or temperature rounded to the nearest degree. One example is time to the nearest millisecond.
