Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The weight of an offensive linesman is a continuous variable since it can take on any value between 200 and 350 pounds, including decimal values. Discrete variables, on the other hand, can only take on specific, isolated values (like the number of children in a family). Qualitative variables describe the characteristics of a population, but do not involve numerical measurements (like hair color or political affiliation).
