HI Bhaskar,

Discrete variable : A discrete variable is one which takes countable values.For example, the number of players playing in a cricket match. The answer to thisquestion can take values as 11, 12, 13, 22 etc.Continuous variable : A continuous variable is a variable that takes any value betweentwo specific data values.For example, the weight measured in kg can take any value between 2 kg and 3 kg.That is, the weight can take values as 2.1 kg or 2.223 kg or 2.1234 etc

Thanks,

Mayur,
