1. A variable is a symbol that represents an unknown value in an equation, such as x or y. Common variables include those that represent numbers, time, radius, and arc length. 2. Qualitative variables are not measured but represent attributes like hair color or profession. 3. Quantitative variables result from counting or measuring something measurable like height, weight, or time in an event.

1.Variable
Variable is a symbol (usually a letter) standing in for an unknown
numerical value in an equation. Commonly used variables include x and y
(real-number unknowns), z (complex-number unknowns), t (time), r (radius),
and s (arc length). Usually, variables are denoted by English or Greek letters
or symbols such as x or θ. Examples: In the equation 10=2x, x is
the variable. In the equation y+2=6, y is the variable.

2.Qualitative Variable
Qualitative Variables - Variables that are not measurement variables.
Their values do not result from measuring or counting. Examples: hair color,
religion, political party, profession.

3.Quantitative Variable
Variables whose values result from counting or measuring something.
Examples: height, weight, time in the 100-yard dash, number of items
sold to a shopper.

4.Discrete Data
It is an information that can only take certain values. These values don’t
have to be whole numbers but they are fixed values. Examples: number of
students in a class, number of corrects you got in a test.

5.Continuous data
It is data that can take any value. Height, weight, temperature and
length are all examples of continuous data. Some continuous data will
change over time. Example: the weight of a baby in its first year or the
temperature in a room throughout the day.

6.Random Variable
A random variable is a numerical description of the outcome of
a statistical experiment. For a discrete random variable, x, the probability distribution
is defined by a probability mass function, denoted by f(x). This function provides
the probability for each value of the random variable. Example: Toss Coin,
Throwing a dice.
