Solution

The variable that is considered a Discrete variable among the options given is "no. of books read in a month".

Here's why:

  1. Gender: This is a categorical variable, not a discrete variable. It is usually divided into categories like male, female, and other.

  2. No. of books read in a month: This is a discrete variable. Discrete variables are countable in a finite amount of time. For example, you can count the number of books read in a month.

  3. Educational attainment: This is an ordinal variable, not a discrete variable. It has a clear ordering of the variables. For example, high school < bachelor's < master's < Ph.D.

So, the answer is "no. of books read in a month".
