Discrete or Continuous

Which of the following variables are best thought of as continuous, which discrete? Indicate your choice for each by checking the appropriate column.

a) Continuous. In this case the variables can take any value between 400 and 600 milliseconds.

b) Discrete. In this case the variables can only take 0, 1, 2 or 3 values.

c) Continuous. In this case the variable can take any value nearby to 30, because the actual length has a tolerance set by the manufacturer

d) Continuous. In this case the variable can take any value.
