Both. It is correct to consider age as a continuous variable, but we collect data on people's ages as if they were discrete variables. Age is generally given in years, at least in humans. When we round off our numbers, we make age a discrete variable. We say a person turns 21 as if one day he's 20 years old and the next day he's 21 years old. This is the way we treat age as a discrete variable. If we considered age as a continuous variable, we would say he is 20.99 years old a day before his birthday and exactly 21 years old only on his birthday, on the exact time of his birth. After that he is 21.001 years old.
Continuous. Discrete. Definition: A set of data is said to be continuous if the values belonging to the set can take on ANY value within a finite or infinite interval. Definition: A set of data is said to be discrete if the values belonging to the set are distinct and separate (unconnected values). Examples: â¢ The height of a horse (could be any value within the range of horse heights). â¢ Time to complete a task (which could be measured to fractions of seconds).
