Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The height is continuous as the height could take multiple values e.g from 10m all the way up 18.95m.
Detailed explanation-2: -Height and weight can be any numerical value and are called a quantitative value. Since possible values of height and weight can be any real number, they are called continuous variables.
Detailed explanation-3: -a random variable (RV) whose outcomes are measured; the height of trees in the forest is a continuous RV.
Detailed explanation-4: -Continuous variables For instance, consider the height of a student. The height can’t take any values. It can’t be negative and it can’t be higher than three metres. But between 0 and 3, the number of possible values is theoretically infinite.
