To help see the difference between continuous and discrete variables, imagine a really tall mountain with a trail leading up to the top. They can be further categorised into NOMINAL (naming variables where one category is no better than another e.g. The difference between discrete and continuous data can be drawn clearly on the following grounds: Discrete data is the type of data that has clear spaces between values. 684 plays . hair colour) and ORDINAL, (where there is some order to the categories e.g. Continuous data is data that falls in a continuous sequence. Example gender can be male or female. On purpose, I made it sound distinct that a variable is either discrete or continuous. 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc). 661 plays . Discrete Variables: The variables which take distinct integer values like 0,1 etc. A characteristic of any species with only a limited number of possible values shows discontinuous variation.
