Contents
Key Stage 3
Meaning
A continuous variable is a numerical variable which has any possible value.
About Continuous Variables
- Continuous variables may have any number of significant figures or decimal places.
Examples
- The height of different types of animal: The height of the animals is a continuous variable.
- The temperature change during a reaction: The temperature at any point in time may have any number of significant figures so it is a continuous variable.
