What are examples of discrete and continuous?

Discrete vs continuous data

Discrete data	Continuous data
Some common examples of discrete data are the number of students, the number of children, the shoe size, and so on	Some common examples of continuous data are height, weight, length, time, temperature, age, and so on

What are three examples of continuous variables?

In general, quantities such as pressure, height, mass, weight, density, volume, temperature, and distance are examples of continuous random variables.

Which variables are discrete continuous?

Comparison Chart

Basis for Comparison	Discrete Variable	Continuous Variable
Values	Values are obtained by counting.	Values are obtained by measuring.
Classification	Non-overlapping	Overlapping
Assumes	Distinct or separate values.	Any value between the two values.
Represented by	Isolated points	Connected points

Is date a continuous variable?

Date is a variable that can be both continuous and discrete. We could also use date as a continuous variable. In this case each year, quarter, month, day, hour, etc. is a distinct value in a long continuous timeline. Dates from Q1 of 2010 are not grouped with dates from Q1 2011 because these two values are distinct.

Is hair color discrete or continuous?

Hair colour is a type of discrete data because the values are distinct. You either have one hair colour or another! Continuous data covers a range, so each category is not separate but runs into the next.

What are some examples of discrete variables?

The following are examples of discrete random variables: The number of cars sold by a car dealer in one month The number of students who were protesting the tuition increase last semester The number of applicants who have applied for a vacant position at a company The number of typographical errors in a rough draft of a book

What are some examples of discrete data?

Discrete data is information that we collect that can be counted and that only has a certain number of values. Examples of discrete data include the number of people in a class, test questions answered correctly, and home runs hit. Tables and graphs are two ways to show the discrete data that you collect.

Which are discrete variables?

Discrete variable is a type of quantitative variable that only take a finite number of numerical values from the defined limits of the variable. It neglects all those values that are in decimal. Discrete variable is also known as categorical variables.

What are continuous and discontinuous variables?

Income, temperature, age, or a test score are examples of continuous variables. These variables may take on values within a given range or, in some cases, an infinite set. Any variable that has a limited number of distinct values and which cannot be divided into fractions, is a discontinuous variable.
