Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A variable is a measurable quality characteristic, such as weight, height, temperature, or age. It can take on different values, and its value can change over time or from one individual or object to another. It is not a "good-bad" type characteristic, which would be binary, or synonymous with attribute, which is another statistical term used to describe a characteristic of a population or sample.
