Discrete variables are those that can only take on certain values, such as integers or whole numbers. Examples of discrete variables include number of employees in an organization, number of products sold by a company, or number of customers served by a store. These variables are discrete because the value cannot vary between two points; it is always an integer and cannot be broken down into further parts.
Continuous variables, on the other hand, can take on any value within a specified range. Examples of continuous variables include age, temperature and speed. These variables are continuous because they can vary between two points or even have fractional values; for example, the age 32.5 years old is possible where as with discrete variables this would not be allowed.
