Key Concepts

Discrete Data

Discrete data refers to countable data that can only take on specific distinct values, often whole numbers. This type of data arises from counting processes where values cannot be subdivided meaningfully, such as the number of people or items, and is characterized by gaps between possible values.

Continuous Data

Continuous data refers to measurable quantities that can take on any value within a certain range. Unlike discrete data, continuous data is typically obtained through measurement and can assume an infinite number of possible values, including fractions and decimals, representing an unbroken continuum.
