Question:
Is the price (in Rand) of a ticket to watch a soccer game a quantitative or qualitative variable? Is it continuous or discrete? Identify the level of measurement.
Discrete and Continuous Variables:
A discrete variable is a variable that is obtained by counting, for example, the number of girls in a class. Here, we will only have separate discrete whole numbers and not a range. For example, there cannot be a range of 2-5 girls in a class. There will be either 2, or 3, or 4 and so on. On the other hand, when a variable is measured and can take continuous values, it is a continuous variable. For example, the height of ten students can be in a range of 5-6 feet, with them having decimal or fractional values as well. For example, the height of one student can be 5.2 feet, the other can be 5.6 feet etc.
