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 discrete variable is one with a well defined finite set of possible values, called states. Examples are: the number of dimes in a purse, a statement which is either âtrueâ or âfalseâ, which party will win the election, the country of origin, voltage output of a digital device, and the place a roulette wheel stops.
