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 differs from a discrete random variable in that it takes on an uncountably infinite number of possible outcomes. For example, if we let X denote the height (in meters) of a randomly selected maple tree, then X is a continuous random variable.
