my question is about statistics... I am confused about discrete and continuous variable... my teacher said that stars are continuous variable but why?? I agree they are infinite but they are in whole numbers and will be counted not measured... if we take stars a continuous variable then why don't we take the number of books continuous variable
and my second question about this is that I know 1.01 is after 1 but if we start counting the number of books so its obvious that second book will be counted after 1st one... there can't be a 1.5th book and there is continuty in number of books so why do we say it discrete variable?? please help
