Discrete variables represent countable items, meaning they can only take on specific, separate values (like whole numbers). Continuous variables, on the other hand, can take on any value within a given range, including fractions and decimals. Understanding the difference is crucial for choosing the right statistical methods and interpreting data accurately.
