Question

Is the number of college classes completed a discrete or continuous variable? Explain your answer. What scale of measurement would be best for this variable?  

Answer 1

Number of classes completed is completely a discrete Variable because number of class completed can be 10 12 or any discrete numbers. It can't be any interval like between 5 to 10 classes completed. So this is completely discrete Variable.all the number of completed class is numerical values. Any fraction or anything is meaningless here.

Here the variable is taking only numerical values . So we will use nominal scale here for measurements because there is no ordering in the values of the variable.
