Definition of Continuous Variable

A continuous variable, in statistics and mathematics, refers to a type of numerical variable that can take on any value within a certain range or interval. It is characterized by an infinite number of possible values, which can be measured at any level of precision.

Key Points:

• A continuous variable can take on any value within a certain range.
• It has an infinite number of possible values.
• Measurements of continuous variables can be obtained at any level of precision.
• Examples of continuous variables include height, weight, time, temperature, and distance.
