What are the characteristics of discrete data?

• Discrete data is countable and has distinct categories or values.

• Discrete data is qualitative and cannot be measured or counted.

• Discrete data is uncountable and has overlapping categories or values.

• Discrete data is continuous and has infinite categories or values.

What are the characteristics of continuous data?

• Continuous data is measured on a continuous scale and can take on any value within a certain range.

• Continuous data is not used in statistical analysis.

• Continuous data is measured on a categorical scale.

• Continuous data is discrete and can only take on specific values.
