Discrete vs. Continuous Variables. Quantitative variables can be further classified as discrete or continuous. If a variable can take on any value between its minimum value and its maximum value, it is called a continuous variable; otherwise, it is called a discrete variable.
Discrete vs. Continuous. 1  A discrete variable is one with a well defined finite set of possible values, called states. 2  A continuous variable is one which can take on a value between any other two values, such as: indoor temperature, time spent waiting, water consumed, color wavelength, and direction of travel. A discrete variable corresponds to a digital quantity, while a continuous variable corresponds to an analog quantity.
