Answer:

The given value is discrete variable.

Explanation:

Discrete Variable:

Discrete Variable are those variables that can only take on a finite number of values are called "discrete variables." All qualitative variables are discrete. Some quantitative variables are discrete, such as performance rated as 1,2,3,4, or 5, or temperature rounded to the nearest degree.
