Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of soaps in a box and the number of different services are both countable values and can only take on specific, distinct values. Therefore, they are discrete variables. Probability distributions are a type of function used to describe the likelihood of different outcomes in a random process, and are not relevant to the given examples. Continuous variables are those that can take on any value within a certain range, and populations refer to entire groups being studied, and not specific variables.
