Variable like 1, 2, 3. Bond ratings are examples of discrete classifications.

A variable that takes only a finite number of real values. (e.g., 1, 3, 5 and 1,000).

A variable that is measured solely in whole units, e.g., gender and siblings

A variable whose potential values must be one of a specific number of values. If someone rates a movie with between one and five stars, with no partial stars allowed, the rating is a discrete variable [..]

A quantitative variable whose set of possible values is countable. Typical examples of discrete variables are variables whose possible values are a subset of the integers, such as Social Security numb [..]

a variable which can only be measured in whole, individual units if it is to have any real meaning e.g numbers of people.

a variable that can only possess certain exact values -- intermediate values are not possible and are rounded to the nearest permitted value or in rare cases are simply ignored. Synonym: "dig [..]

A random variable that is not continuous and has a small number of values.

A discrete variable can only have finite values and comes from a specifically defined set. An example of a discrete variable is how many pennies you have in your wallet. You could have 0,1,2,3,4, or 1 [..]

A numeric variable that takes only a finite number of real values (e.g., X can equal only 1, 3, 5 and 1,000).

A quantitative variable that can take only certain values within the range of the variable. The number of legs on a chair could be one, two, three, or four, but the number of legs could not be 2.5 or [..]
