Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of people in a family is considered a discrete variable because it can only take on certain integer values (e.g. 1, 2, 3, etc.) and cannot be measured in fractions or decimals. A continuous variable, on the other hand, can take on any value within a certain range (e.g. height or weight). "Variable" and "fragmented" are not specific enough to be accurate choices.
