Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Temperature is a continuous variable that can be measured on a scale with equal intervals between values (i.e. the difference between 50 and 60 degrees is the same as the difference between 70 and 80 degrees). However, there is no true zero point as it is possible to have negative temperatures (e.g. in Celsius). Therefore, it is classified as an interval variable.
