What is the difference between a categorical and continuous variable? group of answer choices categorical is independent (explanatory); continuous is dependent (response). categorical are subjective (based on researcher’s judgment); continuous are measured categorical can be measured accurately; continuous have to be estimated. categorical are assigned to discrete categories; continuous can take any value in a range.

Categorical are assigned to discrete categories; continuous can take any value in a range.

Step-by-step explanation:

Categorical variable is a variable that can take on one of a limited, and usually fixed number of possible values

Continuous variable is one which can take on infinitely many, uncountable values

Categorical is independent (explanatory); continuous is dependent (response) is wrong since categorical variable can also be dependent.Categorical are subjective (based on researcher’s judgment); continuous are measured is wrong since categorical variable may not be subjective.Categorical can be measured accurately; continuous have to be estimated is wrong since continuous variable can also be measured.Categorical are assigned to discrete categories; continuous can take any value in a range. This is true
