You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Classify the following variable as nominal, ordinal, discrete, or continuous and state why it is such a variable: 
weight of a textbook  
------ 
It's not a name so it's not nomial 
It's not the order of something, so it's not ordiinal 
It's not an exact value (weights can vary depending on the weighing  
instrument) so it's not discrete. 
--- 
It's continuous.
