Understanding Data Types

What is discrete data?

• Discrete data can take on any value within a range.

• Discrete data is data that is continuous and uncountable.

• Discrete data is only applicable to qualitative measurements.

• Discrete data is data that can take on a finite number of distinct values.

What is continuous data?

• Continuous data is only categorical data.

• Continuous data can only take whole number values.

• Continuous data is data that does not change over time.

• Continuous data is numerical data that can take any value within a range.

Give an example of discrete data.

• The temperature in a room.

• The number of students in a classroom.

• The height of a building.

• The weight of a car.

Give an example of continuous data.

• Types of fruits

• Number of students in a class

• Weight of individuals

• Height of individuals

Is the number of students in a class discrete or continuous?

• Continuous

• Infinite

• Variable

• Discrete

Is height a discrete or continuous variable?

• Categorical variable

• Nominal variable

• Ordinal variable

• Continuous variable

Can discrete data be represented on a number line?

• Discrete data cannot be represented on a number line.

• Yes, discrete data can be represented on a number line.

• Only continuous data can be shown on a number line.

• Discrete data is only represented in tables, not on number lines.

What type of data is temperature measured in degrees Celsius?

• Ordinal data

• Nominal data

• Discrete data

• Continuous data

Is the number of cars in a parking lot discrete or continuous?

• infinite

• variable

• continuous

• discrete

What is the main difference between discrete and continuous data?

• Discrete data is countable and consists of distinct values, while continuous data is measurable and can take any value within a range.

• Discrete data is always numerical, while continuous data is always categorical.

• Continuous data consists of distinct values, while discrete data is measurable.

• Discrete data can take any value within a range, while continuous data is countable.
