Wee1- Graded Assignment Question3( To Course Support Team)

Each user rating an App should be continuous variable as It is taking all the values in the range {1,2,3,4,5}.Because each user can give only values 1,2,3,4,5 and in between values like 1.5,2.5 doesn't be taken. 

By the definitions

Continuous Variables:  If there is a possibility of taking all the values in the range then it should be a Continuous variable.

Discrete Variable: If we cannot take all the values in the range then it is a Discrete Variable.

Example 1 : 

Continuous Variable: 

Height assume 150cm is minimum and 152cm is max so in the range (150-152) it is possible to have all values because it can have decimal values as per context.

Similarly Each User Rating an app : 1 is minimum  and 5 is maximum here range is {1,2,3,4,5} so all the possible values can be taken so it sholud be considered as continuous variable as per the definition.

Note: Each user Rating app Range is{1,2,3,4,5} where as Rating of an app range is (1-5) both are different cases.

Example 2:

Discrete Variable:

No. of persons in a family : 10,12,13,14  we can just count them 

Each user rating an app: : We cannot compare with the above example like no. of persons in a family as there we are counting here we are assigning a value which is in range {1,2,3,4,5} which has proper limits with minimum and maximum. So here in range {1,2,3,4,5} user can give all values to an app which is satisfying continuous variable condition.

I would be grateful if course support team help me with proper explanation.

Thank You
