Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Return on investment" is a numerical measurement and therefore a continuous variable. Continuous variables are measurable and can take on any value within a range. Qualitative variables are non-numerical and attribute variables have a limited number of possible values. Discrete variables can only take on specific values and cannot be measured.
