If you have a constant sweet taste in your mouth, itâs possible you have taste impairment, meaning thereâs a problem with your ability to taste. There are many reasons for taste impairment, including a nasal infection, cold, or flu.
Discrete vs. Continuous Variables. Quantitative variables can be further classified as discrete or continuous. If a variable can take on any value between its minimum value and its maximum value, it is called a continuous variable; otherwise, it is called a discrete variable.
A continuous random variable can take on any values within a continuum or an interval, like the temperature in Central Park, or the height of an athlete in centimeters. Discrete random variables that can take on only finitely many values (like the outcome of a roll of a die) are called finite random variables.
