In statistics, there are two types of
variable
1) Categorical variable
These types of variable can take few
specific values and are limited in number.
For e.g.- Gender
They are further divided into two
sub-categories
a) Nominal
Nominal variable does not follow any
order and can also take few values only. For eg-
Marital Status - Yes or No
b) Ordinal
Ordinal variables have specific order
and can also take few values. For e.g.-
Risk level - Low, Medium, High
2) Continuous variable
These variables are kind of variables
for which values cannot be counted but measured. For e.g.- Height of person is
a continuous variable as it can be plot on number line.
