Expert Solution

Step 1

There are Main two types of variables

Quantitative Variables:- 1] Continuous variable and 2] Discrete variable.
Qualitative Variables:- 1] Ordinal variable and 2] Nominal variable.

1] Continuous variable: The variables of the data value in fraction form are called the continuous variable. Example: height, weight, price.

2] Discrete variable: A discrete variable is a variable whose value is obtained by counting. A discrete random variable X has a countable number of possible values. Variables that can only take on a finite number of values are called "discrete variables. Example: Let X represent the sum of two dice, the number of balls in the box, and the Number of students.
