::Nothing wrong with this sort of article, this has to be a standard thing that we can attribute to an introductory stats textbook. I'm sure I've heard the countable/uncountable thing ''countless'' times 8*) A quick Google gives me
:::'''continuous variable''': ''A quantitative variable is continuous if its set of possible values is uncountable. Examples include temperature, exact height, exact age (including parts of a second). In practice, one can never measure a continuous variable to infinite precision, so continuous variables are sometimes approximated by discrete variables. A random variable X is also called continuous if its set of possible values is uncountable, and the chance that it takes any particular value is zero (in symbols, if P(X = x) = 0 for every real number x). A random variable is continuous if and only if its cumulative probability distribution function is a continuous function (a function with no jumps).''
