The responses to the question "How many out of every 10 U.S. voters do you think feel that the U.S. economy is in good shape?" are discrete numerical values, as the possible responses are whole numbers ranging from 0 to 10. Continuous numerical variables can take on any value within a range (e.g. height, weight), while categorical variables are qualitative and do not have numerical values (e.g. gender, color). A table of random numbers is a tool used in statistical sampling and is not applicable in this context.
